[Intro]
I’ve been thinking about the nights
I should’ve disappeared
Moments hanging by a thread
But I’m still standing here
[Verse 1]
Running fast with a reckless heart
Lighting matches in the dark
Burning bridges just to feel
Something honest, something real
I said I had it all controlled
Truth is I was breaking slow
One more step, one wrong move
One more thing I had to prove
Looking back it’s crystal clear
I was closer than I knew to fear
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought it was luck
I thought I was strong
But something carried me along
[Chorus]
Have you ever looked back at your past
Seen every moment that could’ve been your last
Every breath that fills your lungs tonight
Feels like a borrowed second chance at life
Through every fall, every dive
Somehow you’re still alive
When you trace the lines you walked through
You start to see who carried you
[Verse 2]
Flashing lights and shattered glass
Prayers I didn’t think would last
Voices saying “He won’t make it”
But something said “I’ll take it”
There were doors that should’ve closed
Fires that should’ve left me smoke
Hearts that broke and healed again
Strength I didn’t know was mine back then
Now I see what I couldn’t see
Grace was writing over me
[Pre-Chorus]
When I said “I’m fine”
But I was barely breathing
Love was there, unseen but leading
[Chorus]
Have you ever looked back at your past
Seen every moment that could’ve been your last
Every breath that fills your lungs tonight
Feels like a borrowed second chance at life
Through every fall, every dive
Somehow you’re still alive
When you trace the lines you walked through
You start to see who carried you
[Bridge]
Not by chance, not by fate
Not because I earned my place
Through the wreckage and the pain
There was shelter in the rain
All the times I should’ve gone
There was mercy holding on
[Final Chorus]
So when you look back at your past
At every shadow that you outlast
Every heartbeat testifies
You were held through all the nights
Through every storm you survived
There was a hand over your life
Now I know the reason why
I’m still here… I’m still alive.
