Verse 1
I was eleven with a broken stereo
Static hearts and nowhere left to go
Small town nights, feeling invisible
Then your voice cut through the radio
Pink guitars and a middle finger high
You taught me it’s okay to cry
Told the world we won’t apologize
Turn the pain into a battle cry
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, you made scars look like art
Turned a lost kid into a spark
Chorus
So tonight I’m screaming every word
‘Til my lungs give out and my voice gets hurt
You saved my life and you don’t even know
When I was lost, you said, “Don’t let go”
From bedroom walls to this front row view
This heart beats loud enough for you
If the world goes dark, we’ll crash right through
This song’s my thank you
Verse 2
Black nail polish and a reckless dream
Living life like it’s a movie scene
You showed me how to feel everything
Every high, every in-between
When the headlines tried to drag you down
You still wore that crooked crown
Taught me kings don’t need a throne
Just a stage and a microphone
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, you made misfits believe
We’re exactly who we need to be
Chorus
So tonight I’m screaming every word
‘Til my lungs give out and my voice gets hurt
You saved my life and you don’t even know
When I was lost, you said, “Don’t let go”
From bedroom walls to this front row view
This heart beats loud enough for you
If the world goes dark, we’ll crash right through
This song’s my thank you
Bridge (anthem-style, crowd clapping)
Whoa-oh-oh! We’re the kids you never broke
Whoa-oh-oh! Yeah, we’re louder than the smoke
You gave us hope in stereo
Turned our tears into a rock show
If I could give back half the light
You gave me on my darkest nights
I’d set this whole damn sky on fire
And sing it like a live wire
Final Chorus (bigger, faster)
So tonight I’m screaming every word
Like the broken kids finally got heard
You saved my life, yeah it’s the truth
I found my strength inside your truth
From basement dreams to neon views
We grew up singing songs with you
No matter where this life runs to
I’ll always scream for you
Outro (crowd chant)
Thank you for the chaos and the cure
For every scar you made feel pure
We’re still here ‘cause you showed us how
And we’re not backing down
