Cracked screen on my phone but I still see the light
Half-eaten cereal drowning in milk like my pride
Rent overdue note stuck on the door frame
Telling myself man this just a rough game
Pacing in circles the floorboards they creak
Felt like I peaked back in twenty sixteen
Scrolling past faces that glow on the feed
While I'm stuck in a loop and I can't find the speed
Scratched up sneakers I laced up tight
Walked through the rain on a Tuesday night
No bus fare pockets full of old receipts
Heart on low battery barely got a beat
Mom called twice but I let it just ring
Didn't wanna lie when she asked how I've been
Mirror don't lie and the reflection looked worn
But somewhere deep down I knew I'd be reborn
You took my worst days and you flipped the whole script
Held my hand through the fire when I almost quit
Now I walk like I know where I'm heading for real
Got the strength in my chest made of something like steel
You took my worst days and you flipped the whole script
Held my hand through the fire when I almost quit
Now I stand on the rubble with my head held high
Growth with love and you're the reason why
Same old jacket but the shoulders feel light
Used to carry the weight of the world every night
Unpaid dreams stacking high to the ceiling fan
Now I'm building a plan with my own two hands
Remember when I couldn't look you in the eye
Too ashamed of the guy that I was inside
You sat silent while I broke down the wall
Didn't fix me just loved me through it all
Spilled coffee on my jeans before the interview
Laughed it off different now I see the view
From the bottom you learn how to climb with grace
And appreciate the sun when it hits your face
No more dodging my name when they ask who I am
No more shrinking myself into somebody's plan
Got the scars but they turned into stories I tell
And I owe every chapter to you and yourself
You took my worst days and you flipped the whole script
Held my hand through the fire when I almost quit
Now I walk like I know where I'm heading for real
Got the strength in my chest made of something like steel
You took my worst days and you flipped the whole script
Held my hand through the fire when I almost quit
Now I stand on the rubble with my head held high
Growth with love and you're the reason why
