*Verse 1*
I was something folded tight
Wrapped in silence, hiding from the light
Didn't know that breaking was a door
Didn't know I'd ever ask for more
Something in me started to unwind
Slower than the seasons, faster than my mind
*Pre-Chorus*
And I don't know the shape I'm gonna take
But I know I'm not the girl who used to break
*Chorus*
Something's moving underneath my skin
I can feel the change begin
I was never meant to stay this small
I was never meant to fold at all
Watch me turn the wreckage into wings
Watch me rise from everything
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
*Verse 2*
There's a version of me buried in the ground
Roots that had to break before I found
Anything worth building up above
Anything that felt like real love
I don't need to name what tried to keep me down
I just need to show you what I found
*Pre-Chorus*
And I don't know the shape I'm gonna take
But I know I'm not the girl who used to break
*Chorus*
Something's moving underneath my skin
I can feel the change begin
I was never meant to stay this small
I was never meant to fold at all
Watch me turn the wreckage into wings
Watch me rise from everything
I'm becoming, I'm becoming
*Bridge*
(quiet, almost a whisper, building)
Every ending was a seed
Every silence taught me how to breathe
I don't need to understand it all
I just need to trust the fall
*Final Chorus (full, soaring, maybe a key change)*
Something's moving underneath my skin
I can feel the change begin
I was never meant to stay this small
I was never meant to fold at all
Watch me turn the wreckage into wings
Watch me rise from everything
I was never broken — I was becoming
I was never broken — I was becoming
