Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holes in my shoes
Rain in the ceiling
Coupons on the fridge
Mom hiding her feelings
Secondhand winter
In a thrift-store coat
Learning how to laugh
On a tightrope
[Chorus]
I was born with empty pockets
But a heart that wouldn’t quit
Turned every broken little promise
Into gasoline and grit
I’ve been fighting through the fire
On a first-name basis with the pain
Growing up on nothing
Taught me everything
[Verse 2]
Cold kitchen floor
Dinner came late
Dad left a note
Blamed it all on fate
Counting out coins
For a one-way ride
Swore I’d never let
My kids feel that kind of night
[Chorus]
I was born with empty pockets
But a heart that wouldn’t quit
Turned every broken little promise
Into gasoline and grit
I’ve been fighting through the fire
On a first-name basis with the pain
Growing up on nothing
Taught me everything
[Bridge]
Hand-me-down halo
Bent but it still shines (oh yeah)
Scars like a roadmap
Back to the hardest times
If the world tries to break me
I just bare my teeth and sing
I made a weapon
Out of every missing thing
[Chorus]
I was born with empty pockets
But a heart that wouldn’t quit
Turned every broken little promise
Into gasoline and grit
I’ve been fighting through the fire
On a first-name basis with the pain
Growing up on nothing
Made me everything I am today
