Lyrics

[Verse 1]

(Female)

I remember that door

Half your stuff in the hallway

You said my name like a warning

Cold glass on a hot day

Phone face down on the counter

Your eyes cut right through my skin

Every lie like a splinter

You said

“We don’t come back from this”

[Chorus]

Both

But we bled through the blame

Through the blackout nights

Turned shattered trust into sharpened light

We were close to the cliff

Now we’re standing taller

We were ashes once

Now we’re armor

(Female)

You could’ve walked

Left the wreck

Left me out of order

(Male)

But we stitched each crack

Now steel runs through the border

Both

We were almost gone

Now we’re armor

[Verse 2]

(Male)

I still taste that silence

Burnt coffee and bitten tongues

You said

“Hate me if you have to”

I said

“Hate’s not what we’re from”

(Female)

You held my hands while they trembled

Made me face what I’d done

Every tear like confession

Every dawn

A different drum

[Chorus]

Both

Yeah

We bled through the blame

Through the blackout nights

Turned shattered trust into sharpened light

We were close to the cliff

Now we’re standing taller

We were ashes once

Now we’re armor

(Female)

You could’ve burned this bridge

Let it sink in the water

(Male)

But we chose the fire

Came out harder

Hotter

Both

We were almost gone

Now we’re armor

[Bridge]

[Half-time breakdown

Guitars grind low

Toms pounding]

(Male)

I was the fist in the drywall

You were the ghost at the door (hey!)

Both of us screaming in circles

Both of us wanting more

(Female)

Now there’s a crib in the corner

Little shoes by the bed (ooh)

She’s got your laugh when she’s waking

She’s got my stubborn head

Both

What do we tell her when the world gets rough?

That love is clean?

Or love is tough?

(Female)

Tell her we broke

And chose to rebuild

(Male)

Tell her the cracks

Are where the light spills

[Chorus]

Both

’Cause we bled through the blame

Through the blackout nights

Turned shattered trust into sharpened light

We were close to the cliff

Now we’re standing taller

We were ashes once

Now we’re armor

(Female)

She’s in the crowd with her tiny hands over her ears (oh yeah)

(Male)

We’re on this stage

Screaming truth through the years

Both

We were almost gone

But we pulled each other farther

We were ashes once

Now we’re armor
