Tasting pain finding gold

Versus 1: I’ve been walking through the fire in the dead of night
Every step a reminder that it never feels right
I learned how to suffer quietly, breathing slow
Turning scars into stories nobody knows

Pre-Chorus
Every promise left a mark on my skin
Every truth cut deep, let the darkness in

Chorus
I taste the pain when I speak your name
Like venom on my tongue, but I smile the same
I bled for love that never did hold
Now I rise from the ashes, shining gold

Verse 2
You said forever like it meant something real
But forever cracked the moment I learned how to feel
I carried your shadows, heavy and cold
Mistook your lies for something gold

Pre-Chorus
I was drowning in words you never said
Fighting ghosts living in my head

Chorus
I taste the pain when I speak your name
Like venom in my veins, driving me insane
I learned to suffer, lost control
But I forged my heart into solid gold

Bridge
If this hurt was a weapon, I survived the war
If your love was a curse, I want it no more
From the ruins, I reclaim my soul
Pressure made a diamond, not just gold

Final Chorus
I won’t drown in the pain, I won’t stay the same
Spit out the venom, let go of the blame
I’ve learned how to suffer, but now I’m bold
What tried to break me made me gold
