Built From the Break

[Verse 1]
I wake up in the wreckage of another war
Scars on my skin, but they don’t hurt like before
You said I’d fall, said I’d fade into dust
But I’m still standing, fueled by broken trust
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the truth behind your smile
You wore me down, but just awhile
You fed me venom dressed as grace
Now I return it to your face
[Chorus]
I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame
You tried to drown me, but I overcame
I’m not broken — I’m battle-made
Stronger now with every blade
I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake
I’m built from the break
[Verse 2]
Your words were knives, but I turned them to steel
Now I’m the storm you swore I’d never feel
You pushed me down, thought I'd disappear
Now I’m the voice screaming in your ear
[Pre-Chorus]
You stole my light, but I found the night
Lit it up and made it bright
Now I blaze, now I rise
With open wounds and sharpened eyes
[Chorus]
I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame
You tried to drown me, but I overcame
I’m not broken — I’m battle-made
Stronger now with every blade
I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake
I’m built from the break
[Bridge]
Ashes to embers, I rise again
This time, I fight without the chain
Your hold was weak — I watched it fall
Now I don’t need you at all
[Final Chorus]
I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame
You tried to bury me, but I remain
I’m not broken — I’m battle-made
Fuelled by every choice you weighed
I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake
I’m built from the break
