[Intro]
Yeah
They counted me out
Cool
Count again
[Verse 1]
Woke up with the weight on my chest
Turned it to a plate, now I’m pressed
Pressure into diamonds in the flesh
Cut through doubt, every “no” gets stretched
Got scars I don’t post, they mine
Turn pain into pace, I grind
Stayed down when the tide got violent
Now the wave I ride so silent
They talk big, I move quiet
Whole storm in my own riot
Took losses, learned fluently
Flipped “last pick” to “you and me?”
[Chorus]
I fall, I break, I rise anyway
Turn all that shade into shine on me
They tried to write my ending, I rewrote the page
I know what I’m worth, you can’t set my wage
I bleed, I heal, I climb through the flame
You can throw dirt, I grow from the grave
Can’t cage this heart, can’t hold this flame
I lose, I learn, I rise anyway (anyway)
[Verse 2]
Every “you ain’t built for this” talk
I saved as a trophy, not a fault
I remember dinners made of salt
Now it’s big plates split with the squad
Face down on the floor, I prayed
Looked up, saw me, not aid
Had to be the hero I craved
Stood up, shook fear off my legs
I’m the sum of the nights I survived
Of the friends that left and the ones that ride
Of the doors that slammed in my pride
I turned every closed sign “open wide”
[Chorus]
I fall, I break, I rise anyway
Turn all that shade into shine on me
They tried to write my ending, I rewrote the page
I know what I’m worth, you can’t set my wage
I bleed, I heal, I climb through the flame
You can throw dirt, I grow from the grave
Can’t cage this heart, can’t hold this flame
I lose, I learn, I rise anyway (rise anyway)
[Bridge]
Who am I if I quit right now?
Just a story they twist, left out
Who am I if I stand this ground?
Proof that the hurt turned power, loud (yeah)
[Chorus]
I fall, I break, I rise anyway
Turn all that shade into shine on me
They tried to write my ending, I rewrote the page
I know what I’m worth, you can’t set my wage
I bleed, I heal, I climb through the flame
You can throw dirt, I grow from the grave
Can’t cage this heart, can’t hold this flame
I lose, I learn, I rise anyway (anyway, anyway)
