I Grew Them Myself

(Verse 1)

Started with nothing but a crack in the ground

Hands in the dirt where nobody looked around

You said I’d fade, said I’d never last

But I turned every silence into something that could last

(Pre-Chorus)

Didn’t need a garden

Didn’t need the rain

I made something living

Out of all that pain

(Chorus)

I can grow my own flowers

Paint them gold in the light

Turn the dark into color

Every day, every night

Didn’t need your hands

Didn’t need your help

If they’re reaching for the sun

Yeah, I grew them myself

⸻

(Verse 2)

Petals like fire but they don’t burn me down

Roots run deeper where you never stuck around

You see something pretty, I see what it cost

Every single bloom is a line that I crossed

(Pre-Chorus)

You were just a season

I became the ground

Now I don’t go searching

Everything I need is found

⸻

(Chorus)

I can grow my own flowers

Paint them gold in the light

Turn the dark into color

Every day, every night

Didn’t need your hands

Didn’t need your help

If they’re reaching for the sun

Yeah, I grew them myself

⸻

(Bridge — softer, controlled, almost whispered)

You don’t know the nights

You don’t know the weight

You just see the bloom

But you missed the break

(build — voice cracks slightly here, don’t overdo it)

Now they’re standing tall

Where I used to fall

Yeah I built it all

⸻

(Final Chorus — fuller, but still controlled)

I can grow my own flowers

Watch them light up the sky

Every scar turned to color

Every tear running dry

Didn’t need your love

Didn’t need your wealth

If they’re blooming like this

Yeah… I grew them myself
