Back to Me

Yeah
Felt like the end, but it’s just the start
Sometimes you gotta lose it all to find your heart

She said it’s over, threw the papers down
Took the house, the car, left me in this town
Empty walls, echoes of what we had
Now I'm sittin’ here, tryin’ not to feel mad
She called me a failure, broke me in two
Said I wasn’t enough, and I believed it too
Lost my reflection, couldn’t find my pride
A man with no compass, just pain inside

But every fall is a lesson in disguise
You can’t see the stars ‘til you close your eyes
Had to hit the bottom, had to feel the flame
To rise from the ashes and reclaim my name

Now I'm standin’ tall, lookin’ in the mirror
Wiped away the pain, now the vision’s clearer
Took the pieces she left, built a stronger me
No more chains, now I'm finally free
She thought I’d break, but I learned to fly
Tears turned to strength, watch me touch the sky
From the ashes I rose, now the world can see
I lost her, but I found me

Started from nothin’, rebuilt my life
No house, no car, no love, no wife
Friends disappeared, said I wouldn’t survive
But look at me now, man, I'm more alive
Got a hustle in my step, fire in my soul
Turned the pain to purpose, made myself whole
I'm drivin’ my lane, I don’t need no map
Every scar is a story, every fall’s a snapback

They said I was done, but I proved ‘em wrong
The heart of a fighter keeps beatin’ strong
She thought she broke me, but I'm on my grind
Left the past behind, now it’s my time

Now I'm standin’ tall, lookin’ in the mirror
Wiped away the pain, now the vision’s clearer
Took the pieces she left, built a stronger me
No more chains, now I'm finally free
She thought I’d break, but I learned to fly
Tears turned to strength, watch me touch the sky
From the ashes I rose, now the world can see
I lost her, but I found me

To every man who’s been told he’s not enough
Who’s been left behind when the road gets rough
Don’t let the hurt define who you’ll be
There’s a king inside, just wait and see
She tried to break me, but I won the fight
Took back my power, stepped into the light
Now every move I make, it’s all for me
I'm livin’ my truth, and I'm finally free

Yeah, I'm back, stronger than before
Kicked down the door, I'm takin’ what’s mine and more
Can’t hold me down, can’t dim my flame
I'm the author now, I'm writin’ my name

Now I'm standin’ tall, lookin’ in the mirror
Wiped away the pain, now the vision’s clearer
Took the pieces she left, built a stronger me
No more chains, now I'm finally free
She thought I’d break, but I learned to fly
Tears turned to strength, watch me touch the sky
From the ashes I rose, now the world can see
I lost her, but I found me

Yeah
Sometimes you lose to gain it all
From the ground I rose, I’ll never fall
She walked away, but it set me free
I lost her, but I found me
