(Intro)

Lying awake in the aftermath,

Heart’s a battlefield of my own past.

Scars don’t heal, they just rearrange,

But I’m still breathing—ain’t that strange?

(Verse 1)

Ran from the fire but I lit the flame,

Told myself I’d change, but I stayed the same.

Built a home on fragile dreams,

Watched it crumble, watched it scream.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every piece of me they tried to claim,

But I won’t let them write my name—

On a stone, like I’m already gone.

(Chorus)

I’m the ghost in the mirror, fading slow,

The ache in the silence, the shadow’s glow.

But even shattered glass catches the light,

Even broken wings can take flight.

I’m messy, beautiful, human inside,

A soul on fire that refuses to hide.

(Verse 2)

Felt the weight of a thousand lies,

But the truth is heavier, can’t disguise.

I wore my mask like a second skin,

A fragile shield for the war within.

(Bridge)

There’s a crack in the sky, a whisper of hope,

A thread so thin but it helps me cope.

The world’s a mess, and so am I,

But even ashes can touch the sky.

(Chorus)

I’m the ghost in the mirror, fading slow,

The ache in the silence, the shadow’s glow.

But even shattered glass catches the light,

Even broken wings can take flight.

I’m messy, beautiful, human inside,

A soul on fire that refuses to hide.

(Post-Chorus)

Ooh, I carry the weight, but I won’t let it win,

Ooh, every ending’s where I begin.

Messy and beautiful, messy and free,

This is the story of being me.

(Outro)

In the ruins, I found my grace,

Tears carved lines but not my face.

I’m messy, beautiful, human inside,

Still here, still burning, I won’t subside.
