[Verse 1]
I came up out the fire
Burn marks in my mind
You smiled in my face
Then you crossed every line
Cheat by cheat, lie by lie
You made a whole mess
Turned your pain into a weapon
Made me carry your stress
You played the victim first
Had the whole room fooled
Fake tears, fake news
Trying to make me look cruel
Said I was the problem
Said I broke your world
But I was breaking inside
Trying to keep it from unfurl
[Pre-Chorus]
I was gone in my head
Still walking through hell
You put blame on my name
Like a curse on my shell
I was numb to the bone
Too tired to fight
Then I found one small spark
In the wreck of my life
[Chorus]
I made it through the ash
I made it through the ash
You don’t own my pain
I made it through the ash
I’m still here, I’m still here
You can’t kill my shine
I made it through the ash
And I’m mine this time
[Verse 2]
You hit where it hurt
Then you called it love
Hands on my body
Then you swore it was tough
Mental bruises, real bruises
I wore both like stone
Smile in public, shake in private
I was hurting alone
And the worst part of it
Was the story you sold
Telling people I was crazy
Telling people I was cold
Every lie stacked high
Till the roof caved in
But the truth don’t die
It just waits to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
I was done being small
Done swallowing blame
Done holding your shame
Like it was my name
Now the mirror looks clear
Now my breath comes right
I survived what you did
Now I’m taking my life
[Chorus]
I made it through the ash
I made it through the ash
You don’t own my pain
I made it through the ash
I’m still here, I’m still here
You can’t kill my shine
I made it through the ash
And I’m mine this time
[Bridge]
No more begging for peace
No more carrying you
No more calling it love
When it cut right through
I forgave my own heart
For the war it endured
Now I walk like a storm
With a soul restored
[Chorus]
I made it through the ash
I made it through the ash
You don’t own my pain
I made it through the ash
I’m still here, I’m still here
You can’t kill my shine
I made it through the ash
And I’m mine this time
