(Intro)
Yeah…
You lit the fire, now watch it breathe
(heavy reverb, slow build)
(Verse 1)
You said I’d break, said I’d fold under pressure
Said I was nothing, couldn’t stitch shit together
Talked like you knew me, like you wrote my fate
Like I’d stay stuck while you walked away
Yeah, you painted me weak in your fake-ass story
Left me in the dirt, never saw the glory
Every word you threw, yeah it cut so deep
But that blade turned steel when it hit me
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I hear your voice when it’s stuck in my head
But it don’t break shit, it just fuels me instead
Every “you can’t” got buried in flames
Now I rise up screaming your name
(Chorus)
I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
Every scar you left built a fucking beast in me
Yeah you tried to kill my dreams, now they breathe in me
I’m the ghost of every doubt you ever spoke on me
Look now, I stand where you said I’d bleed
Yeah I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
(Verse 2)
I remember nights I was losing my mind
Hearing your bullshit on a loop, no rewind
Felt like drowning in a voice so cold
Like I was already buried before I got old
But pain got a way of flipping the vision
Turned my fear into savage ambition
Now I walk like I got nothing to lose
And everything you doubted, I fucking proved
(Pre-Chorus)
Now your echoes sound weak to me
Like a broke-ass shadow that can’t even breathe
Every “you won’t” just fed my flame
Now I rise up, you can’t cage this name
(Chorus)
I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
Every scar you left built a fucking beast in me
Yeah you tried to kill my dreams, now they breathe in me
I’m the ghost of every doubt you ever spoke on me
Look now, I stand where you said I’d bleed
Yeah I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
(Bridge)
(beat drops out, dark tone)
I thought you knew…
I’m too fucking determined to end up like you
Yeah I broke every chain you tied me to
Now I’m everything you said I’d never do
(Final Chorus)
I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
Turned your hate into the fuel that carried me
Yeah you tried to bury me, now I’m breaking free
I’m the proof that all your shit meant nothing to me
Look now, I stand where you said I’d bleed
Yeah I’m becoming everything you said I couldn’t be
(Outro)
(soft, echo fading)
Yeah… look at me now…
You built the fire… I became the fucking flame…
