[Verse 1]
I was born in a backfire
Cracked glass
Cheap wine
Mama said "baby
You’re fragile"
But I knew that was a lie
So I took all my heartbreak
Packed it into steel and chrome
Chasing lines on the highway
Just to feel my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Midnight on an exit ramp
Tears on the wheel
Hands cramped
I asked my shadow
"who are you?"
She said "I’ve been waiting
For you to tell the truth"
[Chorus]
I was born for the break
Not broken
Every scar on my skin is open
Road dust
Sweat
And these shaking hands
Turned fear into fire
Then fire into plans
Getting in touch with my heart again
Healing so deep it turns love back on
Living so loud in my own damn skin
That loving feels like coming home
[Verse 2]
Talked to ghosts on the CB
Heard my doubts in the whine of the gears
Sang my secrets to the moonlight
‘Til I ran out of fear
Pulled over at a diner
Face raw
Mascara gone
Looked up in that greasy mirror
Said "girl
You been here all along"
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t your fragile porcelain
I’m forged from all the roads I’ve been
Every wrong turn
Every dead-end sign
Just spun my compass
Back to what was mine
[Chorus]
I was born for the break
Not broken
Every scar on my skin is open
Road dust
Sweat
And these shaking hands
Turned fear into fire
Then fire into plans
Getting in touch with my heart again
Healing so deep it turns love back on
Living so loud in my own damn skin
That loving feels like coming home
[Bridge]
(Yeah) I used to beg to be enough
Now I’m the one I’m dreaming of
If you can’t hold this holy mess
You can watch me
As I bless
Every mile
Every bruise
Every burn
I don’t run from myself
I return
[Chorus]
I was born for the break
Not broken
Every scar on my skin is open
Road dust
Sweat
And these shaking hands
Turned fear into fire
Then fire into plans
Getting in touch with my heart again
Healing so deep it turns love back on
Living so loud in my own damn skin
That loving feels like coming home
[Outro]
Yeah
Loving feels like coming home
To me
(oh, to me)
