Finding My Strength

[Verse 1] I spent so long in a house of shadows, Learning to breathe without making a sound, Losing pieces of who I was Every time I was pushed to the ground. I wore the silence like a second skin, Called survival something close to love, But somewhere underneath the breaking, There was a heart still dreaming of enough. [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know how to heal it all, Some days I'm strong, some days I fall, But every step away from yesterday Is a little more of me I save. [Chorus] I'm finding my strength, one breath at a time, Learning to live, learning I'll be alright. I still break down, I still lose my way, I still have nights when the hurt won't fade. But I'm not alone in this fight anymore, There are hands reaching out when I fall to the floor. And when I can't find the strength to go on, The people I found remind me I'm strong. So I'll keep moving, even when it's hard, I'm rebuilding the pieces of my heart. [Verse 2] There are memories I wish I could bury, Ghosts that still whisper when I'm trying to sleep, Moments that come like a storm without warning, Wounds that run deeper than anyone sees. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be The woman I was before it all began, Then someone reminds me I'm still here, And somehow I rise and try again. [Pre-Chorus] I don't have to have all the answers, I don't have to pretend I'm okay, I'm allowed to fall apart sometimes And still choose to face another day. [Chorus] I'm finding my strength, one breath at a time, Learning to live, learning I'll be alright. I still break down, I still lose my way, I still have nights when the hurt won't fade. But I'm not alone in this fight anymore, There are hearts that stayed when I needed them most, People who saw me beneath all the pain, Who gave me a reason to breathe again. And when I can't find the strength to go on, The people I found remind me I'm strong. [Verse 3] I never expected to find them here, After everything I'd been through, People who didn't ask me to hide my tears, Who simply stayed and helped me through. They became pieces of a brand-new life, Little lights where the darkness had been, They showed me kindness without asking why, And slowly taught me to trust again. [Bridge] So if tomorrow I wake up broken, If the tears come pouring down, I'll remember every hand that held me, Every voice that said, "You're safe now." I may stumble, I may shatter, I may have days I can't pretend, But I don't have to walk this road alone, I've found people who won't let me give in. [Final Chorus] I'm finding my strength, one breath at a time, Turning the ashes into a new life. I still fall apart, but I know how to mend, I still have scars, but I'm learning to live. And I'm grateful for the souls I found, For the ones who lift me when I'm falling down. They remind me there's a life beyond the pain, That sunshine can follow the darkest rain. And when I forget just how far I've come, They remind me I'm more than what I've run from. [Outro] I walked away with a heart full of scars, But I found new light in the darkest parts. I'm not who I was, and I'm not who he made me— I'm becoming the woman I was meant to be. And even when the road feels long, I'll keep breathing, I'll keep moving on. Because somewhere along the way I found The strength I thought I'd lost— And the people who helped me find it again.
