Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I was wandering in circles calling it a path Gave away my compass, couldn’t do the math Played the fool so long I started wearing it like skin Let the wrong ones in and let them rearrange the wind Told myself it’s love when it was just a leash Every line I drew, I let them cross with ease What you allow will continue — learned that hard and late Standing in the rubble of a life I helped create Pre-Chorus But the breaking point is still a point And the ground is still the ground And when there’s nothing left to lose That’s the first time you are found Chorus I picked up every piece with my own two hands No one’s coming, baby — finally understand Didn’t need a savior, I needed a mirror Every scar a map that’s getting clearer, clearer Broken open, not broken down Lost my old self just to find a new crown Rising from the wreckage, quiet and reborn You can’t stop the dawn Verse 2 Started asking questions I’d been too afraid to face Who am I without the weight of trying to keep pace Found a voice inside the silence I had never heard Turned my pain to pages, turned my wounds to words Didn’t recognize the woman looking back at me But she was stronger, she was sharper, she was finally free You don’t find yourself in comfort, you find yourself in fire And the version forged in flames is the one that climbs higher Pre-Chorus And the breaking point is still a point And the ground is still the ground When there’s nothing left to lose That’s the first time you are found Chorus I picked up every piece with my own two hands No one’s coming, baby — finally understand Didn’t need a savior, I needed a mirror Every scar a map that’s getting clearer, clearer Broken open, not broken down Lost my old self just to find a new crown Rising from the wreckage, quiet and reborn You can’t stop the dawn Bridge I was ash I was hollow I was everything I swore I’d never swallow But I stayed And I gathered Every fragment, every fracture, every shatter And I learned that being lost is just the start Of the excavation of your own heart I wasn’t falling apart — I was falling Into place Final Chorus I picked up every piece with my own two hands Built a whole new world from the ruins where I stand I don’t need a savior, I became the mirror And the woman looking back keeps getting clearer Broken open, not broken down Traded in my wreckage for an unbreakable crown Rising from the ashes, sovereign and reborn — Indomitable You can’t stop the dawn
