I hear the echoes in the dark
Of every step I couldn't take
A thousand voices in my heart
Reminding me of my mistakes
I tried to hide it all away
Pretending I was strong enough
But every night, it found its way
Through all the lies I built from dust
I was running from the truth
From everything I couldn't face
But I’m done chasing who I was
I won’t live in that place
This is who I am, not who I was
No more hiding in the dark
I’ve been broken, I’ve been lost
But I’m done tearing me apart
This is who I am, not who I was
I won’t fall the same again
All the scars I tried to erase
Are the proof that I remain
I held onto the weight of shame
Like it defined my every breath
But I’m so tired of that chain
Of living halfway into death
Every doubt that dragged me down
Every voice inside my head
I will turn them into fire
Let them burn what I regret
This is who I am, not who I was
No more hiding in the dark
I’ve been broken, I’ve been lost
But I’m done tearing me apart
This is who I am, not who I was
I won’t fall the same again
All the scars I tried to erase
Are the proof that I remain
I won’t be the ghost I used to know
I won’t wear that name again
Every piece I thought I lost
Is where I now begin
This is who I am, not who I was
Hear me louder than before
All the pain I carried on
Doesn’t own me anymore
This is who I am, not who I was
I’m still standing in the end
Every scar, every broken part
Made me who I am again
