[Verse 1]
Used to hate my reflection
Same four walls
Same blue glow
Empty bottles by the bedside
Just to make the night feel slow
Every birthday was a breakdown
Every sunrise
Just pretend
Kept on saying I'd get better
Never said exactly when
[Chorus]
Then you showed up
Tiny riot in my chest (hey!)
Kicked a hole straight through the dark I called a life
All the worst parts of me finally laid to rest
When you wrapped your little fingers 'round mine
I didn't know that I was breathing just to get to this
I didn't know that I was broken till you pulled the twist
Now I'm laughing at the ghosts that used to haunt my head
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
And you're the reason that I'm not scared of it
[Verse 2]
Yeah
I still hear the voices
Telling me I won't be enough
But you giggle in the hallway
And it drowns 'em in your love
Tiny socks on the radiator
Baby monitor half-on
I don't pray
But I am praying
"Let me be here when she's grown"
[Chorus]
'Cause you showed up
Tiny riot in my chest (oh yeah)
Kicked a hole straight through the dark I called a life
All the worst parts of me finally laid to rest
When you wrapped your little fingers 'round mine
I didn't know that I was breathing just to get to this
I didn't know that I was broken till you pulled the twist
Now I'm laughing at the ghosts that used to haunt my head
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
And you're the reason that I'm not scared of it
