Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to wake up mad at the mirror
Blaming every crack in the glass on the past I feared
Held grudges like trophies, heavy on my chest
Told myself I was fine, never gave it a rest
Phone full of names that I never would call
Heart full of shame I pretended was walls
Every wound I had, I kept pulling the thread
Bleeding out in my head, living half-alive, half-dead
[Chorus]
Now I'm better than before, I can feel it in my breathing
Every step lighter, every scar has a meaning
I let the weight go, watched it walk out the door
I'm not who I was, I'm better than before
I'm better than before, yeah, I'm finally believing
Turned all my goodbyes into quiet new beginnings
I let the pain go, it don't own me anymore
I'm not who I was, I'm better than before (hey!)
[Verse 2]
I had to lose some people just to find my peace
Had to sit with my anger till the noise got weak
Had to cry in the car, let it all run wild
Then talk to that hurt like it’s just a scared child
I learned "sorry" don’t always mean they get to come back
Sometimes healing is a promise that you keep for yourself, and that’s that
Started eating, sleeping, dreaming like I might stay
Started talking to my future more than I replayed that day
[Chorus]
Now I'm better than before, I can feel it in my breathing
Every step lighter, every scar has a meaning
I let the weight go, watched it walk out the door
I'm not who I was, I'm better than before
I'm better than before, yeah, I'm finally believing
Turned all my goodbyes into quiet new beginnings
I let the pain go, it don't own me anymore
I'm not who I was, I'm better than before (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Used to pray just to make it through the night
Now I wake up, thank the day for the light
Used to ask "why me?" every time I got hit
Now I ask "what now?" and I rise with it
[Chorus]
Now I'm better than before, I can feel it in my breathing
Every step lighter, every scar has a meaning
I let the weight go, watched it walk out the door
I'm not who I was, I'm better than before
I'm better than before, and that joy feels steady
Heart wide open, hands up, I’m ready
I let the past go, it’s a story, nothing more
I’m not who I was, I’m better than before (better than before)

rap, Warm, reflective boom-bap with soulful vocal chops and a thick, swinging drum groove; verses in confident, articulate male vocals, laid over mellow keys and subtle guitar licks. Hook lifts into a sung-rap cadence with stacked harmonies and a wider stereo field. Final chorus adds extra ad-libs and a brighter piano line for a cathartic, triumphant close., happy, healing
