This isn’t the end

[Verse 1 , low, intimate] 

I see the weight sitting on your chest
Like every voice that said you weren’t enough
The world gets loud, tries to drown you out
But there’s a quiet truth still lingering around
Every scar you hide, every night you fought
You’re still here, even when it hurts a lot

[Pre-Chorus soft lift]
They’ll try to shape you, try to wear you thin
But there’s a part they’ll never get in

[Chorus 1 , emotional, melodic]

So hold on, through the hurt and flame
Say your name, even if it shakes
Every scar is proof you made it through
Every fall just taught you how to move
You’re not lost
You’re just finding out
That you’re stronger than you thought you were

[Verse 2 conversational, slightly grittier]

You walked roads that cut you deep
Loved some things that couldn’t love you back
Every silence, every door that closed
Still shaped the person you are now
When the nights get cold, don’t forget
The strength you’ve found, the ground you’ve kept

[Pre-Chorus 2  restrained]

They’ll tell you who you’re meant to be
But you don’t owe them anything

[Chorus 2  bigger, emotiona]
So hold on, through the hurt and flame
Say your name, even if it shakes
Every scar is proof you made it through
Every fall just taught you how to move
You’re not lost
You’re just finding out
That you’re stronger than you thought you were

[Bridge (almost spoken]
I’m not what broke me
I’m not my worst days
I’m the reason I’m still breathing
When I almost walked away

[Final Chorus / Outro soft lift, piano fading]

So hold on, through the hurt and flame
Say your name, even if it shakes
Every scar is proof you made it through
Every fall just taught you how to move
You’re not lost
You’re just finding out
That you’re stronger than you thought you were
Hold on, yeah, hold on
This isn’t the end
It’s just where it starts
Outro 

Yeah…
Right here
This is where it starts
