V1:
I stood face to face with my shadows, asked them who I am,
They told me they’re just the steps I took when I was lying on the ground.
I gathered in my chest all the words that broke me in silence,
And let them burn slowly, until the fire inside me turned into strength.
I wasn’t a hero, nor a victim — just a person learning how to breathe,
To not run from himself, even when his heart feels too small to hold the whole universe.
But today I see myself differently, through the eyes that don’t lie,
And I see a “me” that’s not afraid to grow, even if the world wants him down.

Chorus:
You become better only after you break — that’s what I learned on a long night,
When the angels leave, you’re left with yourself and that silence that tightens around you.
But out of all my versions, I choose the one that doesn’t give up,
The one that knows pain only carves what’s meant to shine on a better day.

V2:
I carried regrets inside me that weighed down my steps through the years,
But every time I fell, I stood up more steady on my own feet.
I searched for answers in people, then in stars, then in nothing,
And found out that sometimes the question is wrong when your soul isn’t ready yet.
I promised myself I won’t put the weight of the world on my bare shoulders anymore,
That I won’t hide my voice in hurting thoughts just to seem “better” among others.
And now, when I look in the mirror, I don’t see perfect — but I see real,
And maybe for the first time… that’s enough for a brand new ideal.

Chorus:
You become better only after you break — that’s what I learned on a long night,
When the angels leave, you’re left with yourself and that silence that tightens around you.
But out of all my versions, I choose the one that doesn’t give up,
The one that knows pain only carves what’s meant to shine on a better day.

Outro:
I am my better version — not because it’s easy,
But because I chose to grow from everything that made me fall so many times.
And if the road is long, I’m not afraid… I walk step by step with myself,
Because there’s no destination more beautiful than the person I’ve become in the end.
