(Verse 1)
She laughs too hard at dark shit
Like it keeps ghosts away
Makes pain sound casual
Like it doesn’t still stay
Moves like somebody
Who learned way too young
How to survive nights
Most people would run from
Cheap hotels
Cold seats
Childhood scattered in the back streets
Arms turned into stories
Nobody should keep
Still somehow
She became somebody
Who stays when others fall apart
Like the world couldn’t kill her heart
(Pre-Chorus)
She says
“Be fearless” under her breath
Like survival became religion
(Chorus)
Now she wears her scars like lightning
Not shame
Not regret
Just proof the storm hit hard
And she outlived it
“Storms make me stronger”
Like a promise she still keeps
Even when the past comes crawling
Through her sleep
She became warmth
Without ever feeling safe
Yeah the strongest souls
Are usually the ones pain tried to break
(Verse 2)
Truth hidden inside humor
Half smile
Tired eyes
Like vulnerability still feels dangerous sometimes
But underneath the strength
There’s still that younger soul
Trying to understand
Why love came with control
So now she fights for people
Like she knows exactly what it costs
To feel invisible in a room
While slowly getting lost
And maybe resilience
Doesn’t always look clean
Maybe sometimes it’s just surviving
Without becoming mean
(Pre-Chorus)
Fearless
Doesn’t mean fearless all the time
Sometimes it means standing back up again
(Chorus)
Now she wears her scars like lightning
Not shame
Not regret
Just proof the storm hit hard
And she outlived it
“Storms make me stronger”
Like a promise she still keeps
Even when the past comes crawling
Through her sleep
She became warmth
Without ever feeling safe
Yeah the strongest souls
Are usually the ones pain tried to break
(Bridge – atmospheric/piano heavy)
Some people drown in their pain
Some people pass it down
But she carried hers through fire
And never burned the world around her
Even after abandonment
Even after learning survival
Before learning childhood
She still became somebody
People feel safe with
(Final Chorus – explosive)
Now she wears her scars like lightning
And every mark says
“I survived”
Not because the pain was small
Not because the wounds disappeared
But because she kept moving forward
Even through the years
Fearless
But resilient
Soft without surrendering
And every storm that tried to break her
Only taught her how to stand again
