Lyrics by Melanie Vivien

Verse 1
I used to wear myself so tightly
Like I had to be someone to belong
Smiling through things I didn’t believe in
Just to prove I was never wrong

But somewhere in the noise I lost me
In all the voices telling me who to be
I kept giving pieces away
Until there was nothing left I could see

Pre-Chorus
And I didn’t know it then
But breaking was beginning

Chorus
I had to lose myself
To find who I am
Fall apart in my own hands
Just to understand

That everything I needed
Was buried underneath the pain
I had to lose myself
To find me again

Verse 2
I stopped chasing perfect answers
Stopped trying to fit every mold
Started listening to the quiet
That I used to ignore and hold

And in the silence I remembered
There was a voice I used to know
It didn’t ask me to be better
It just asked me to come home

Bridge
If I had never broken
I would’ve never seen
That the version I was searching for
Was already inside of me

Final Chorus
I had to lose myself
To find who I am
Not in pieces I gave away
But in who I am again
