I wore the smile, played the part
Hid my truth in the dark
Said all the right words, but none were mine
Prayed to be someone I could never find
I tried to fix what wasn't wrong
Held my breath just to belong
In a world that taught me how to lie
To lose myself just to survive
But silence is a slow goodbye
And I was dying just to feel alive
So I broke the chains, I let it burn
All the shame and pain and hurt
Every scar became a spark
Lighting up my wounded heart
I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase
I'm the storm that found its grace
This is me, unafraid
Becoming, becoming
Then all at once the mirror cracked
I couldn't fake one more act
I chose the truth, though it shook the ground
I lost some love, but I found mine now
Cause healing hurts, but so does hiding
And peace is worth the pain of fighting
So I broke the chains, I let it burn
All the shame and pain and hurt
Every scar became a spark
Lighting up my wounded heart
I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase
I'm the storm that found its grace
This is me, unafraid
Becoming, becoming
For every kid who feels alone
Thinking they're too long to be known
Hold on, your light is coming
You're not broken, you're becoming
Healing hurts
But so does hiding
And peace is worth the pain of fighting
So I broke the chains, I let it burn
All the shame and pain and hurt
Every scar became a spark
Lighting up my wounded heart
I'm not a sin, I'm not a phase
I'm the storm that found its grace
This is me, unafraid
Becoming, becoming
This is me, unafraid
Becoming, becoming
