New version of me

I buried the boy you used to know

He’s gone now

Let his ghost go

Your words were knives

They cut too deep

But I stitched myself while you were asleep

You dimmed the light

I found the flame

A broken heart won't play your game

Here I am

A new version of me

Stronger

Sharper

Smarter

Wild and free

You tore me apart

But look what I made

Your lights are dim

But I shine unafraid

The cracks you left

I turned to gold

A phoenix born from ashes cold

Your echoes fade

They're just a hum

I'm not the one you thought I'd become

Your shadow shrinks

I take the stage

This is my life

I’ve turned the page

Here I am

A new version of me

Stronger

Sharper

Smarter

Wild and free

You tore me apart

But look what I made

Your lights are dim

But I shine unafraid
