Â
(Verse 1)
Cut myself with the shards of my broken dreams,
Held âem close like they still meant something.
Every âwhat ifâ carved a deeper seam,
And I smiled through the ache like it meant nothing.
Â
(Pre-Chorus)
But the night donât lie, and the mirror donât care,
When you're dancing with ghosts that were never there.
Â
(Chorus)
I bled for the chances Iâll never reclaim,
Each drop a whisper, each scar a name.
Built a throne out of promises buried beneath,
And I wear this sorrow like a crown of grief.
Â
(Verse 2)
Lit a candle in the ruins of who I was,
Watched it flicker with the breath of doubt.
All the "somedays" turned to smoke because
Hope donât screamâit just burns out.
Â
(Pre-Chorus)
But the night donât lie, and the mirror donât care,
When you're dancing with ghosts that were never there.
Â
(Chorus)
I bled for the chances Iâll never reclaim,
Each drop a whisper, each scar a name.
Built a throne out of promises buried beneath,
And I wear this sorrow like a crown of grief.
Â
(Bridge)
Now I sharpen my sorrow into silver blades,
Cut the strings of the past, let the dead love fade.
If I fall again, itâll be with fists clenched tightâ
A requiem dressed like a war song tonight.
Â
(Final Chorus â Reclaiming Fire)
I bled for the chances Iâll never reclaim,
But I forged new strength in the heat of that flame.
Built my wings from the bones of belief,
Now I soar through the silence, crowned by grief.
No gods, no glory, just scars and flameâ
But I own every wound, and I carry no shame.
