Unbreak Me Again

(Verse 1)(intimate, breathy)(low and conversational. Almost spoken-sung)(gritty undertone)

(Range: G3 – Bb3)

I was quiet in the corner of my own mind

Playing small just to keep the peace

Every scar had a story I tried to hide

Said I’m fine when I was on my knees

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)(build tension)(open vowels. Light mix, no belt)

(Range: Bb3 – D4)

I learned how to smile through the shaking

Learned how to breathe through the pain

But something inside me is waking

And I don’t need saving

⸻

(Chorus)(first belt)(strong, emotional belt on “again”)(Bb4)(controlled power, not full scream)

(Range: D4 – Bb4)(belted mix)

You can’t unbreak me again

I’ve already bent, I’ve already burned

I walked through hell and back

And I finally learned

I’m not your storm, I’m the calm at the end

You had your chance, you don’t get me again

No, you can’t unbreak me again

⸻

(Verse 2)(slightly stronger than Verse 1)(more edge, still grounded, but less fragile)

(Range: A3 – C4)

I was drowning in the weight of your words

Every “almost” cut too deep

I was fighting for a love I deserved

While you were fighting just to leave

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)(bigger lift)(let the last line lean into chorus emotionally)

(Range: C4 – Eb4)

I gave you my truth, my weakness

Every tear I couldn’t hide

But I won’t bleed just to prove this

I survived

⸻

(Chorus 2)(bigger belt)(full chest mix belt on C5)

(Range: Eb4 – C5)

You can’t unbreak me again

I’ve already bent, I’ve already burned

I walked through hell and back

And I finally learned

I’m not your storm, I’m the calm at the end

You had your chance, you don’t get me again

No, you can’t unbreak me again

⸻

(Bridge)(pull back → explode)(start controlled, then belt harder on “louder” and “break”)(D5)

(Range: Bb3 – D5)

Say you’re sorry, say you’ve changed

Say my name like it still hurts

But I’ve paid every debt in pain

I don’t owe you a word

Go on, try to pull me under

I stand taller in the flames

What doesn’t kill me makes me louder

I rise every time you break

⸻

(Final Chorus)(maximum power)(sustained belts, stacked harmonies underneath, ad-libs climbing above)

(Range: F4 – D5)(optional E5 ad-libs)

You can’t unbreak me again

I’ve already bled for the truth

I found my voice in the wreckage

I found my strength without you

I’m not your ghost, I’m alive till the end

I love myself too much to pretend

No, you can’t unbreak me again

⸻

(Outro)(soft release)

(Range: Bb3 – F4)

I was broken…

Now I’m bulletproof.
