Gently, I Rise

Lyrics: aoneco Music: aoneco Midnight breeze on my open skin Old wounds fade, new dreams rushin’ in You promised always, but I learned to bend Now I’m my own beginning, not your end
I still hear your name in the quiet air But I’m breathing now without the fear I’m not broken — I just grew Into someone I outshined you
Hold me gently, watch me rise I’m a brand new star tonight Used to crumble when you’d speak Now I’m strong, and I’m unique Hold me gently — let me shine My whole heart is finally mine
Lip gloss gone but my fire stayed I found grace in every break New hearts call but I move slow Cause loving me comes first, you know
I still dance with every scar I claimed They sparkle with my brand-new name Call it heartbreak — I call it bloom I grew roses in the ruins of you
Hold me gently, watch me rise I’m a brand new star tonight Used to crumble when you’d speak Now I’m strong, and I’m unique Hold me gently — let me shine My whole heart is finally mine
Every silence turned to gold Every truth I hadn’t told Became the wings that set me free I’m becoming who I’m meant to be
Hold me gently, let me glow I survived the undertow What you lost is what I gained — I’m the spark that can’t be tamed Hold me gently — watch me grow I’m the story you’ll never know
Mm-hmm… I’m not needing you I’m just loving me
