We kissed like thunder, but crashed like rain
Built a home outta hurt, painted walls with the pain
You said, “Forever,” I said, “We’ll see”
Turns out love ain’t always what it claims to be
I gave too much, you took too deep
Lost myself just tryna keep the peace
But silence screamed louder than your touch
And loving you started costing too much
But I’m still gonna rise, even if I fall slow
Even if the night’s long, I know where I’ll go
It’s messy, it’s real, but I’m finding my light
Tangled in heartbreak, but I’m still gonna fight
Yeah, I’m bruised — but I’m still gonna rise
So I rise, not flawless but free
Not what we were — just what I need to be
Tomorrow's not promised, but tonight I try
Still got hope, still got fire — still gonna rise
I stopped checking your feed, stopped waiting on calls
Started learning I don’t need someone to stand tall
Healing’s not pretty, it’s crying at 2
But I’d rather be lonely than lost in you
Some days I slip, some nights I break
But I’m done folding just to feel safe
Love shouldn’t burn like this inside
I’m choosing me, and that’s not pride
Still gonna rise, even through the ache
Even when my hands shake, I won’t fake
It’s heavy, it hurts, but I’m on my side
Finally breathing, no longer hide
I’m scarred — but I’m still gonna rise
So I rise, not flawless but free
Not what we were — just what I need to be
Tomorrow's not promised, but tonight I try
Still got hope, still got fire — still gonna rise
One day I’ll love with no fear in my chest
One day this mess will all make sense
I’m not there yet, but I’m on the way
No more shrinking just to stay
Still gonna rise, even through the ache
Even when my hands shake, I won’t fake
It’s heavy, it hurts, but I’m on my side
Finally breathing, no longer hide
I’m scarred — but I’m still gonna rise
So I rise, not flawless but free
Not what we were — just what I need to be
Tomorrow's not promised, but tonight I try
Still got hope, still got fire — still gonna rise
So I rise, not flawless but free
Not what we were — just what I need to be
Tomorrow's not promised, but tonight I try
Still got hope, still got fire — still gonna rise
So I rise, not flawless but free
Not what we were — just what I need to be
Tomorrow's not promised, but tonight I try
Still got hope, still got fire — still gonna rise
No chains, no fear, just sky ahead
I dance with the fire, not tears I shed
Heartbeat loud like a war drum rise
Eyes on the sun, not the goodbye
Running on faith, I got no map
But I’m done lookin’ back — nah, not goin’ back
This is my beat, this is my time
I’m alive, I’m free — and I feel just right
No chains, no fear, just sky ahead
I dance with the fire, not tears I shed
Heartbeat loud like a war drum rise
Eyes on the sun, not the goodbye
Running on faith, I got no map
But I’m done lookin’ back — nah, not goin’ back
This is my beat, this is my time
I’m alive, I’m free — and I feel just right
