[Intro]
I sat with the ending
’Til it loosened its grip
Watched every old version of me
Fall through my fingertips
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking with the thought of dying
’Til it stopped being something to fear
When I looked in the eyes of that quiet
I found myself here
Stripped of the stories that kept me shrinking
Only breathing and an open sky
There’s a softness in the way I’m breaking
And it feels alive
[Chorus]
I feel free
Like I finally laid my armor down
Nothing left to prove
Naked in this moment now
I’m still healing
Every scar is learning how to glow
I’m becoming unbreakable
’Cause I bend and I let go
[Verse 2]
I’ve been stitching every torn-up morning
With a thread made of “one more try”
Letting go of the love I kept hoarding
Just to give it inside
All the pieces that I called disasters
I invite them to sit and stay
Pour them coffee, and we cry, then we’re laughing
As they fade away
[Chorus]
I feel free
Like I finally laid my armor down
Nothing left to prove
Naked in this moment now
I’m still healing
Every scar is learning how to glow
I’m becoming unbreakable
’Cause I bend and I let go
[Bridge]
I used to think that strength meant stone
Now I know it’s letting myself be known
Letting every shaking hand unfold
Touch the hurt, then touch the hope
(oh, the hope)
[Chorus]
I feel free
Like forgiveness running through my veins
Every breath I take
Writes a kinder kind of name
I’m still healing
But I’m walking in a softer glow
I’m becoming unbreakable
’Cause I bend
And I let go
