Lyrics

[Verse 1]

[female]

I remember every message

Every late-night lie I told

You were sleeping on the sofa

I was burning through my soul

[male]

I was pacing like a stormfront

Every question like a blade

Could’ve ended in a car door slam

In a curse and a runaway

[Pre-Chorus]

[female]

But you stayed in the doorway

Shaking

I said

“Hit me with the truth you’re facing”

[male]

I was cracked

I was hollow

Shaking

But I heard a heartbeat worth saving (worth saving)

[Chorus]

[both]

We were ashes

Now we’re armor

We were breaking

Now we’re harder

Yeah

You cut me open

Heart on the floor (heart on the floor)

Thought the end was getting nearer

Now I see it in the mirror

We’re a wildfire circle around our daughter’s door

We were almost gone

Now we’re something more

[Verse 2]

[female]

I remember when you touched me

Like you didn’t know my name

Silence louder than the thunder

You were drowning in the shame

[male]

I was sleeping with my car keys

Just in case I had to go

But your tears hit like a war drum

And I couldn’t leave you alone

[Pre-Chorus]

[female]

You said

“Tell me why I’m still here

Bleeding”

I said

“Teach me what your love is needing”

[male]

We were hanging by a torn black thread

Then a tiny voice called from the bed (from the bed)

[Chorus]

[both]

We were ashes

Now we’re armor

We were breaking

Now we’re harder

Yeah

You cut me open

Heart on the floor (heart on the floor)

Thought the end was getting nearer

Now I see it in the mirror

We’re a wildfire circle around our daughter’s door

We were almost gone

Now we’re something more

[Bridge]

[female]

Little hands on my old scars

Says

“Mom

Why you look so far?”

I say

“Once I almost lost your dad

’Cause I forgot what I had”

[male]

Little eyes in the hallway light

Says

“Dad

You scared of the night?”

I say

“I was

Till your mama cried

Now we walk through the dark side by side” (by my side)

[both]

We don’t hide from the hurt we made

We build cathedrals from our shame

Every crack a place for light to stay

Every fracture keeps us safe

[Chorus]

[both]

We were ashes

Now we’re armor

We were breaking

Now we’re harder

Yeah

You cut me open

Heart on the floor (heart on the floor)

Thought the end was getting nearer

Now I see it in the mirror

We’re a wildfire circle around our daughter’s door

[both]

We were almost gone (almost gone)

Now we’re something more (something more)

We were almost gone

Now we’re unbreakable

Three hearts forged in war (hey!)
