Breaking Through”

(30 Seconds to Mars–style)

Intro

(Soft, distant)

I’ve been running from myself for way too long…

Trying to be what you wanted me to be

Verse 1

I wake up every morning with the weight on my chest

Like I’m fighting a war I can’t forget

Every promise I made, every lie that I told

Built a prison inside my soul

I tried to be perfect, I tried to behave

I tried to live life the way you said

But every time I looked in the mirror

I didn’t recognize the face staring back

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been hiding in the shadows of who I used to be

Every scar reminds me of the truth in me

Chorus

This is who I am

This is what I’ve become

I’ve been breaking down

Trying to be someone

I’m done running from the pain inside

I’m standing here, I’m still alive

This is my voice, this is my fight

I’m breaking through tonight

Verse 2

I’ve been screaming but nobody hears

All my words just disappear

I tried to hold on, tried to be strong

But I’ve been losing myself all along

I followed the path you laid for me

But it never felt like destiny

I gave you my trust, my heart, my soul

Now I’m picking up the pieces you stole

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it building deep inside

The truth I’ve tried so hard to hide

Chorus

This is who I am

This is what I’ve become

I won’t live another lie

I won’t run

I’m done hiding from the fear inside

I’m done losing myself to the night

This is my voice, this is my fight

I’m breaking through tonight

Bridge (Build-up)

I’m done being silent

Done being afraid

I’m done chasing shadows

That never stayed

I was lost, I was weak

But I’m still standing here

I won’t disappear

Final Chorus (Big)

This is who I am

I’m not backing down

I’ve been torn apart

But I’m standing now

Every scar, every tear I cried

Led me here to fight tonight

This is my truth

This is my light

I’m breaking through

I’m alive

Outro

I won’t hide anymore

I’m finally free

This is me…

Breaking through
