[Verse 1]
You left your poison in my lungs
Every "I love you" weighed a ton
Thought I would shatter when you ran
But look
I'm carving out a better plan
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I bled on the floor of my own room
Staring at the ceiling
Swearing I was through
But every tear I tasted turned to fuel
Watch me light the match
I’m done with you
[Chorus]
I’m better than what you broke
Stronger than the words you spoke
Thought I’d stay small in your shadow
Didn’t you? (didn’t you?)
I’m brighter than all our scars
Rising from a wrecked-up heart
You made a mess
But I made something new
I’m better than what you broke
Better than you ever knew
[Verse 2]
You drew my borders with your doubts
Tried to erase what I’m about
Now every flaw you used to shame
I wear in gold
I say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
You tried to keep me paper-thin
Fold me into shapes that fit your skin
But every time you slammed another door
I found another way
Another floor
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[pulled-back vocal]
This hurt is heavy
But I lift it
Turn my anger into pigment
Paint a future you can’t visit
You won’t recognize me
Can you feel it?
[crescendo]
I’m not your almost
Not your lesson
I’m my own wild
My own blessing
Watch me now
Watch me now
Watch me—
[Chorus]
