Lyric

You trace my name in silence

Like a habit you can’t kill

Your touch remembers fire

But my heart is standing still

I learned to wear the fractures

Like a jewel beneath the skin

You tried to make me shatter

But I broke and rose again

You want the part that bends for you

The softness you misused

But beauty grows in darker rooms

From everything you bruised

Break me… beautiful

I bloom inside the pain

A quiet kind of danger

That you’ll never hold again

Break me… beautiful

I rise where you decay

The pieces you abandoned

Shine brighter than your stay

You loved me when I weakened

When my guard began to slip

But now I keep my truth

Where your shadow cannot grip

I don’t need your perfect reasons

I don’t need your trembling voice

I learned that breaking gracefully

Was always still my choice

You chase the ghost you crafted

But I’m not the one you knew

The cracks became my armor

And the loss became my view

Break me… beautiful

I bloom inside the pain

A quiet kind of danger

That you’ll never hold again

Break me… beautiful

I rise where you decay

The pieces you abandoned

Shine brighter than your stay

Every wound you thought would ruin

Turned to silver in the light

I carry storms you walked away from

And still

I stand upright

“This beauty isn’t yours.”

Break me… beautiful

I’m stronger where I split

A masterpiece of aftermath

That you were never fit

Break me… beautiful

I bloom where shadows fall

If breaking birthed my fire…

Then I owe you nothing

At all
