[Verse 1]
I found the truth in a borrowed phone
A half-made promise, a house of stone
You wore your kindness like a clean white shirt
While every careful word kept making hurt
I learned the shape of a closing door
The quiet after I asked for more
A year went missing in someone’s excuse
But I’m not carrying their crooked truth
[Pre-Chorus]
I was counting every reason I was hard to love
Till the mirror got tired of giving up
[Chorus]
Now I’m standing where the wreckage ends
No borrowed heart, no counterfeit friends
You can keep the lies you left behind
I’m taking back this life, this name, this mind
I may be bruised, but I’m not undone
I’m walking forward, one by one
Single, certain, breathing through the scars
I’ll survive by my own roads, wherever they are
[Verse 2]
I used to measure my worth by your eyes
Let your silence decide if I should apologize
Every betrayal put a crack in the frame
Now I see the person underneath the blame
I changed the locks on the old routine
Cleared your photographs from the kitchen screen
There’s coffee cooling beside my keys
And a little more room for the life I need
[Pre-Chorus]
I was waiting for permission to become enough
Then I heard my own voice call my bluff
[Chorus]
Now I’m standing where the wreckage ends
No borrowed heart, no counterfeit friends
You can keep the lies you left behind
I’m taking back this life, this name, this mind
I may be bruised, but I’m not undone
I’m walking forward, one by one
Single, certain, breathing through the scars
I’ll survive by my own roads, wherever they are
[Bridge]
Let the hard year testify
I didn’t disappear, I learned to drive
Past every mile where I lost my nerve
Toward the life I know I deserve
No one gets to write my ending now
I found my feet, I know how
[Final Chorus]
Now I’m standing where the wreckage ends
My own strong heart, my own defense
You can keep the lies you left behind
I’m taking back this life, this name, this mind
I may be bruised, but I’m not undone
Look at me now, I’ve only begun
Single, certain, breathing through the scars
I’ll survive by my own roads, wherever they are
[Outro]
Wherever they are
I’ll find my way
No one beside me
And still, I’ll stay
