Brighter Than the Breaking

I held the cracks like they were all I owned

I wore the weight like I deserved the pain

But every night I still made it home

And woke to find my heartbeat stayed

I'm brighter than the breaking inside

Stronger than the storm I survived

I'm not the flame that flickers and fades

I learned how to light my way

I used to fear every open door

Like love would only leave a mark

But I'm still here, I am something more

Than every shadow, every dark

I'm brighter than the breaking inside

Stronger than the storm I survived

I'm not the flame that flickers and fades

I learned how to light my way

If I fall, I fall into the light

If I shake, I shake the dust away

I won't live like I'm out of time

I'll turn the hurt into my strength

Brighter than the breaking

Brighter than the breaking

Brighter than the breaking

Brighter than the breaking

I light my way
