The man I had to make

[Heroic Intro : instrumental - drums]

Verse 1

You count my scars like they’re my story
Like they’re the proof of all I am
But you never met the part of me
That decided what I’d never need

Pre-Chorus 1

You only saw the damage
And named the cost
But you never asked me
What it took from me
To not get lost

Chorus 1

I’m so much more than what you see
More than the scars you count on me
You see the weight, but not the spine
You see the storm, not what survived
I’m not the sum of what I lost
I’m not a ghost, I am not lost
I’m still here, still free
I’m so much more than what you see
(Yeah, what you see)

Verse 2

I learned to stand when no one noticed
To hold the line without a sound
I carried hope like contraband
Where breaking down was safer ground
I wore restraint like armor plating
Kept my name out of the flames
They thought my silence meant surrender
But I wasn’t saved by higher hands

Pre-Chorus 2

I saved myself, inch by inch
And when I almost vanished
Something in me refused to flinch

Chorus 2

I’m so much more than what you see
More than the scars you count on me
You see the weight, but not the spine
You see the storm, not what survived
I’m not the sum of what I lost
I’m not a ghost, I am not lost
I’m still here, still free
I’m so much more than what you see
(Yeah, what you see)

Bridge

I didn’t break
I didn’t stay
In the dark where no one clapped
I chose myself anyway
It wasn’t luck
It wasn’t fate
I am the man I had to make

Final Chorus / Anthem

I’m so much more than what you see
(What you see)
More than the scars you count on me
(So much more, yeah)
You see the weight, but not the spine
You see the storm, not what survived
(No-no-no)
I’m not the sum of what I lost

I’m not a ghost, I am not lost
(Not lost, not lost, na-na-na)
I’m still here, still free
(Here and free)
I’m so much more than what you see
(That’s what you see, you don’t see)
I’m so much more than what you see
(I’m so much more…)
