Almost didn’t make it.

Verse 1

The mirror didn’t know my name

Her eyes were tired, her smile was fake

Three and a half years of wearing blame

Like it was mine to take

I memorized the sound of rage

The way the walls would shake

I learned to shrink, I learned to bend

So nothing else would break

Pre-Chorus

He said I was too much, then not enough

Said no one else would ever love

A girl like me — so hard to hold

So I held my breath and let him mold

Chorus

I almost didn’t make it

I almost let the darkness win

I almost let his voice become

The only truth I lived within

I stood on edges no one saw

Fought battles in my head

I almost didn’t make it

But I’m still here instead

Verse 2

There were nights I drove too fast

Praying something would give

Not because I wanted to die

But I didn’t know how to live

I whispered “God, just make it stop”

Into an empty room

Every promise that he broke

Still echoed like a tomb

Pre-Chorus

He’d pull me close, then tear me down

Crown himself while I would drown

Love shouldn’t feel like survival

But that’s what it became

Chorus

I almost didn’t make it

I almost let the silence win

Almost believed I was the problem

Living under his skin

I stood on edges no one saw

With shaking hands and dread

I almost didn’t make it

But I chose to breathe instead

Bridge (Soft — Almost Whispered)

If you’re listening and you’re there right now

Thinking you’re too far gone somehow

You’re not crazy

You’re not weak

You’re just hurting

And you deserve peace

Final Chorus (Stronger, Survivor Energy)

I almost didn’t make it

But almost isn’t where I stayed

I crawled through every shattered lie

He ever tried to make

I found my name beneath the pain

Found my strength in the wreckage

I almost didn’t make it

But I survived the message

Outro

Three and a half years

Couldn’t take my life

They bent me

They bruised me

But I survived
