Intro (soft piano)
(Female: humming softly)
Mmm…
(Male: soft)
Took me a while to get here…
Didn’t think I would
⸻
Verse 1
(Male)
Started off in a place so low
Didn’t even recognise my own
Lost myself in everything
Didn’t know what it would bring
(Male)
Tried to find it in someone else
Didn’t know I needed myself
Now I stand here seeing clear
Everything that brought me here
⸻
Pre-Chorus
(Male)
Every moment had a reason
Even when I couldn’t see it
Every time I felt defeated
It was leading me to healing
(Female: soft background)
Mmm… yeah…
⸻
Chorus
(Female lead)
This is recovery…
Finding who I’m meant to be
Every scar, every pain
Led me back to me again
(Male + Female)
This is recovery…
Learning how to breathe
Everything I went through
Made a better version of me
(Female: soft echo)
Recovery… recovery…
⸻
Verse 2
(Male)
I don’t feel how I felt before
I don’t chase what I chased before
Everything just makes more sense
I don’t live in that past tense
(Male)
Took my time, had to grow
Had to feel it just to know
Now I’m here and I can say
I found my own way
⸻
Verse 3
(Male)
Had my nights where I felt lost
Didn’t care about the cost
Gave too much, lost my way
Didn’t think I’d see this day
(Male)
Now I look at who I am
And I finally understand
Everything I went through
Had a purpose in the end
⸻
Bridge (back & forth)
(Female)
You were lost but you found it…
(Male)
I was down but I climbed out…
(Female)
Every moment, every scar…
(Male)
Made me into who I am now…
(Female)
You were searching for something…
(Male)
Didn’t know it was me…
(Female)
Now you’re standing here stronger…
(Male)
Finally I can see…
⸻
Chorus (final, full duet)
(Male + Female)
This is recovery…
Finding who I’m meant to be
Every scar, every pain
Led me back to me again
(Male + Female)
This is recovery…
Finally I can breathe
Everything I went through
Made me who I’m meant to be
(Female: harmonies)
Recovery… recovery…
(Male)
Yeah… this is me…
⸻
Outro
(Female: soft)
You made it through…
(Male)
Yeah… I did
(Female: fading)
Recovery…
(Male: calm, final)
And I’m not going back
