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
