Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Running through the wreckage

Heart still hot from yesterday

Every scar a little lesson

Every bruise another page

You left me in the crossfire

Tears burning like a brand

Thought the hurt would be my ending

But it taught me how to stand

[Pre-Chorus]

I was begging you to see me

Breaking just to keep you safe

Bending till my bones were screaming

Just to make it through the day

[Chorus]

I bleed to breathe again

Hurt just to feel again

Get knocked down

I rise and then

I live to please another day (another day)

I crash

I crawl

I mend

Lose just to learn again

If this is what the fire takes

I’ll burn

Survive

And stay

To please another day

[Verse 2]

Fast track through the heartache

Didn’t get a second glance

You were busy counting fault lines

I was fighting for a chance

Now I’m dancing with the damage

Turning ashes into gold

Every heartbreak in my history

Is a story getting told

[Pre-Chorus]

I was begging you to need me

Chasing every step you traced

Now I’m running past the bleeding

Letting all that poison waste

[Chorus]

I bleed to breathe again

Hurt just to feel again

Get knocked down

I rise and then

I live to please another day (oh, another day)

I crash

I crawl

I mend

Lose just to learn again

If this is what the fire takes

I’ll burn

Survive

And stay

To please another day

[Bridge]

You can take the love I gave

You can keep the lies you saved

But you can’t erase this flame

I’m still here

I stayed

Every tear I didn’t waste

Put that power in my veins

I’m the storm you couldn’t tame

I’m the one who walked away (hey!)

[Chorus]

I bleed to breathe again

Hurt just to feel again

Get knocked down

I rise and then

I live to please another day

I crash

I crawl

I mend

Lose just to learn again

If this is what the fire takes

I’ll burn

Survive

And stay

To please another day
