[Verse 1]
You kept a tally on my skin
Every flaw
Every small sin
I wore your words like heavy chains
Called it love
Swallowed the blame
[Pre-Chorus]
I bent till I was almost gone
Chasing scraps
Trying to belong
But in the quiet
Truth cut through
I was never less for loving you
[Chorus]
I was always good enough to break
Not to beg for what you’d never give or take
I’m done shrinking just to fit your frame
If I burn
I burn in my own name
I was always good enough to feel
Now I’m learning I was always something real
[Verse 2]
You drew a line I’d never cross
Moved it every time I got close
I thought if I just bled some more
You might finally unlock the door
[Pre-Chorus]
But my reflection doesn’t lie
There’s a fighter staring back this time
If I’m too much for what you choose
You’re the one who’s bound to lose
[Chorus]
I was always good enough to break
Not to beg for what you’d never give or take
I’m done shrinking just to fit your frame
If I burn
I burn in my own name
I was always good enough to feel
Now I’m learning I was always something real
[Bridge]
Tired heart
Stop apologizing (hey)
Every scar is a sign I’m rising
If you couldn’t see my worth back then
Watch me stand up
Whole again
[Instrumental Break]
[guitar solo over pounding drums and sweeping strings]
[Chorus]
I was always good enough to break
Now I’m stronger than the weight of your mistake
I’m done shrinking just to fit your frame
If I burn
I burn in my own name
I was always good enough to feel
Now I’m living like my broken parts can heal
Yeah
I’m living like my broken parts can heal
