Late night.

Quiet peace.]

I packed up the pieces of who I was

Some of them broken, some still in love

I don’t hate the boy I used to be

He got me here, he made me me

I’m not fixed, I’m not whole

But I’m still standing in this moment

Before the next chapter begins

I just wanna breathe this in

All the scars, all the change

All the nights I stayed

Before the next chapter starts

I’m laying down my heavy heart

I don’t know what’s ahead of me

But I’m still here, and that’s enough

Some dreams faded, some stayed strong

Some goodbyes took too long

But every step, every tear

Led me right here

I’m not brave, I’m not sure

I’m just not done anymore

Before the next chapter begins

I just wanna breathe this in

All the scars, all the change

All the nights I stayed

Before the next chapter starts

I’m laying down my heavy heart

I don’t know what’s ahead of me

But I’m still here, and that’s enough

I don’t know what I’ll become

But I know what I survived

And that feels like a beginning
