[Intro]
Yeah
I know that place
[Verse 1]
I wore every failure like a name on my chest
Counted all the reasons I was less than the rest
Mirror had a verdict, I believed every word
Built a cage from the damage, let it tighten when it hurt
Missed calls from my mother, rent late on the floor
Kept my back to the doorway, didn’t trust anymore
I was tearing through my own heart, calling that control
Till the bottom got quiet and I finally heard my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought the wreckage was the end of me
Turns out it was where I learned to breathe
[Chorus]
Call up from the bottom, tell ’em I survived
I was buried under pain, now I’m standing alive
Every scar had a lesson, every loss left a mark
I hated who I was, but it rebuilt my heart
Call up from the bottom, let the whole world know
The same hands that were shaking learned to carry the load
I’m not proud of every mile, but I made it through the dark
What nearly broke me built a better heart
[Verse 2]
Started with a glass of water, then I opened the blinds
Put the truth on paper, stopped rehearsing the lies
Said sorry without begging, set a boundary and stayed
Found a little steady in the choices I made
No miracle morning, no clean slate overnight
Just a hundred small decisions pointing back toward the light
I still hear that old voice when the pressure gets loud
But I answer from experience: I don’t owe it a crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought the wreckage was the end of me
Turns out it was where I learned to breathe
[Chorus]
Call up from the bottom, tell ’em I survived
I was buried under pain, now I’m standing alive
Every scar had a lesson, every loss left a mark
I hated who I was, but it rebuilt my heart
Call up from the bottom, let the whole world know
The same hands that were shaking learned to carry the load
I’m not proud of every mile, but I made it through the dark
What nearly broke me built a better heart
[Bridge]
If you’re counting every reason you should disappear
Listen, you are not the worst thing you did last year
Take one honest step, let somebody in the room
A life can start rebuilding from the smallest piece of truth
[Final Chorus]
Call up from the bottom, tell ’em I survived
I was buried under pain, now I’m standing alive
Every scar had a lesson, every loss left a mark
I hated who I was, but it rebuilt my heart
Call up from the bottom, hear the answer in my tone
I went looking for a rescue and I built one of my own
I’m not proud of every mile, but I made it through the dark
What nearly broke me built a better heart
[Outro]
From the bottom
Still breathing
Still becoming
