[Verse 1]
I know the cracks by the shape they leave
Every old wound has a history
They read my skin like a warning sign
But they never lived one day of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried their words like stones in my coat
Till I learned how to loosen my hold
Now every breath is a battle cry
I’m still here, and I won’t apologize
[Chorus]
I’m broken, but I’m still breathing
Still standing when the room starts leaving
Kick life hard, let the whole world know
I’m not the girl they can bury below
Say what you want, point where you please
Your judgment doesn’t get to own me
I’ve got scars, and I’ve got a pulse
Broken but breathing, and that’s enough
[Verse 2]
I stopped hiding beneath long sleeves
Stopped asking permission just to believe
There’s a fire underneath this frame
It learned my pain, then it learned my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried their doubt like a chain in my throat
Till I found my voice in the smoke
Now every step is a battle cry
I’m still here, and I won’t apologize
[Chorus]
I’m broken, but I’m still breathing
Still standing when the room starts leaving
Kick life hard, let the whole world know
I’m not the girl they can bury below
Say what you want, point where you please
Your judgment doesn’t get to own me
I’ve got scars, and I’ve got a pulse
Broken but breathing, and that’s enough
[Bridge]
To every hand that pushed me down
To every mouth that loved the sound
Of telling me I’d never rise
Watch me turn the hurt into a sunrise
I don’t need your blessing now
I found my own way out
[Final Chorus]
I’m broken, but I’m still breathing
Louder than the doubt I was believing
Kick life hard, let the whole world know
I’m not the girl they can bury below
Say what you want, point where you please
Your judgment doesn’t get to own me
I’ve got scars, and I’ve got a pulse
Broken but breathing, and that’s enough
[Outro]
Still breathing
Still here
Still mine
