[Verse 1]
This year took its bite
Left marks on my skin
I learned how to stand
When the floor gave in
Rain on the glass
Mud on my shoes
I kept moving forward
What else could I do?
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step
Then another
I was buried low
Now I’m coming up stronger
[Chorus]
Stone by stone
I built myself back
Stone by stone
I found my black flag
I don’t break
I don’t fold
Stone by stone
I came back whole
[Verse 2]
The phone kept ringing
Bad news in a row
Empty room nights
With nowhere to go
I stared at the wall
Till the wall stared back
Then I drew a line
And I stepped through that
[Pre-Chorus]
One more step
Then another
I was buried low
Now I’m coming up stronger
[Chorus]
Stone by stone
I built myself back
Stone by stone
I found my black flag
I don’t break
I don’t fold
Stone by stone
I came back whole
[Bridge]
I wore the weight
Like a crown of rust
I turned that pain
Into steel and dust
If I tremble now
It’s just to begin
I survived the year
Now let me in
[Final Chorus]
Stone by stone
I built myself back
Stone by stone
I found my black flag
I don’t break
I don’t fold
Stone by stone
I came back whole
