Lyrics
[Verse 1] I wore your goodbye like a bruise In the mirror, i saw someone lose My voice got small in a crowded room And every step back felt like a tomb I blamed my heart for the way it broke Held my breath just to make it through I sat in the dark with the things i knew That i was still here, even hurting too [Pre-Chorus] Then i heard that little spark Under all that heavy hurt I said, "girl, get up" You are not what you lost You are not what they took [Chorus] I am my own return I am my own return From the fire, from the hurt I turned glass to gold I am my own return I am my own return What left me on the floor Made me strong, made me whole [Verse 2] I learned my name in the quiet nights No more begging for a place in line I paid my dues in tears and doubt Now i know what my time is about I kept the pieces, made something new Built a life that don't need your proof Now i walk in like i own the room Not because i'm loud, because i came through [Pre-Chorus] And i don't need saving now I got the hands to save myself I said, "girl, get up" You are not what they said You are more than enough [Chorus] I am my own return I am my own return From the fire, from the hurt I turned glass to gold I am my own return I am my own return What left me on the floor Made me strong, made me whole [Bridge] I loved, i broke, i healed I found my fire for real You can keep what i gave I'm keeping what i built No more shrinking me down No more begging to stay I rose out of the wreck And i rose my own way [Final chorus] I am my own return I am my own return From the fire, from the hurt I turned glass to gold I am my own return I am my own return What left me on the floor Made me strong, made me whole I am my own return I am my own return Look at me, i came back Better than before
