[Intro — whispered / breaking]
I thought the bottom would be quiet…
But all I hear is everything
I hate about myself.
Then I hear your voice.
[Verse 1]
I’ve been waking up already defeated,
Dragging this body through another day,
With a head full of reasons I’m not worth keeping,
And a heart that forgot how to feel okay.
I built a home inside the darkness,
Called it mine because I knew it well,
But you walked straight into the wreckage
And refused to leave me there myself.
[Pre-Chorus]
When I swear there’s nothing left,
When the weight is on my chest,
You put your hands around my shaking heart
And remind me I’m not finished yet.
[Chorus — huge cleans]
YOU PULLED ME BACK
When I’m hanging by a thread,
When the darkness in my head
Tries to bury every piece of who I am.
You find me at rock bottom,
Put the light back in my eyes.
When I can’t find a reason to keep fighting—
I see one when I look into your eyes.
I was convinced I’d never make it through…
Then I found the light in you.
[Verse 2 — harsh vocals]
I’M SICK OF BEING MY OWN ENEMY!
Sick of letting every failure define me!
I’ve spent years with my hands around my own throat,
Choking every little bit of fucking hope!
But I can feel something changing,
A pulse beneath the scars.
You showed me even broken men
Can crawl back from the dark.
[Breakdown]
I HIT THE BOTTOM—
YOU REACHED DOWN!
I LOST MY VOICE—
YOU SCREAMED IT OUT!
I SAID, “I’M DONE!”
YOU SAID, “NOT NOW!”
So if this darkness wants me—
IT’S GONNA HAVE TO DRAG ME THROUGH YOU!
[Bridge — vulnerable cleans]
I don’t need you to fix me.
I just need you beside me
While I learn how to stand again.
And maybe someday
I’ll look into the mirror
Without wishing I was someone else.
Because loving you taught me
There are still things worth becoming.
There are still mornings worth seeing.
There is still a man inside of me
Worth saving.
[Final Chorus — cleans + screams underneath]
YOU PULLED ME BACK
When I’m hanging by a thread,
When every voice inside my head
Says I’ll never be enough again.
You find me at rock bottom,
And you stay until I rise.
Now I’m clawing through the darkness
With your love burning like a fire inside.
I’M NOT STAYING DOWN!
I’M NOT GIVING IN!
If rock bottom comes tomorrow,
I know exactly what I’ll do—
I’ll reach toward the light
And fight my way back through.
Because when I couldn’t see a future…
I found one with you.
[Outro — soft]
You didn’t fight the battle for me.
You just reminded me
I was strong enough to fight.
And when I forgot what light looked like…
You became the proof it still existed.
