How I survived the fall

Verse 1

The sky was spinning sideways,

As I crashed into the ground,

I thought the story ended

When my whole world came unwound.

I could hear the silence echo

Where your voice used to be,

And for a while I didn't recognize

The person looking back at me.

Pre-Chorus

I was a house of shattered glass,

A wildfire burning fast,

A shadow of who I used to be,

But somehow that wasn't the end of me.

Chorus

This is how I survived the fall,

When I thought I couldn't stand at all,

When the ground gave out beneath my feet,

And the dark kept calling me.

I learned a broken heart can beat,

Even when it's incomplete,

The scars became the proof I'm strong,

Not the proof that something's wrong.

I didn't fly above it all—

I survived the fall.

Verse 2

The hardest part was waking up

To a life I didn't choose,

Walking through familiar places

With a different set of wounds.

The mirror showed a stranger,

The girl I used to know was gone,

But somewhere in the wreckage

A stronger heart was being born.

Pre-Chorus

Every goodbye left its mark,

Every tear lit up the dark,

Every wound became a road,

Leading somewhere I didn't know.

Chorus

This is how I survived the fall,

When I thought I couldn't stand at all,

When the ground gave out beneath my feet,

And the dark kept calling me.

I learned a broken heart can beat,

Even when it's incomplete,

The scars became the proof I'm strong,

Not the proof that something's wrong.

I didn't fly above it all—

I survived the fall.

Bridge

The view looks different from the ground,

When you've got nothing left to lose,

Funny how the hardest landing

Led me somewhere new.

I kept reaching for the old me,

But she was never coming back,

So I took the pieces left behind

And built the life I have.

Final Chorus

This is how I survived the fall,

When I thought I was losing it all,

When the ground gave out beneath my feet,

I found a strength I couldn't see.

Now every scar shines like a star,

Every broken piece knows who they are,

I didn't rise because I'm strong—

I got strong because I survived the fall.

Oh-oh-oh,

I survived the fall.

Oh-oh-oh,

When I thought I'd lose it all.

I didn't rise because I'm strong—

I got strong because I survived the fall.

Outro

The fall didn't break me.

It became me.

And now I'm standing where I thought I'd never be.

That's how I survived the fall.
