Fractured Ashes Rising

I kept the rain

inside my coat

Learned how to smile when the ceiling broke

(mm-mmm) Three winters folded in the same old room You said it

was love, I called it getting through I counted every sorry like

a mark on the wall Made myself smaller so we would not

fall Your heavy hands never had to touch The quiet

did more than enough (ahhhh)

I packed my name in a paper bag

Put back the fire I forgot I had If I shake,

let the floor shake too I am not breaking for you (no

more)

I am walking out with my head up high Let the door

slam, let the old me die

You took my years,

but you do not own tonight I found my voice,

now I choose my life (yeah,

yeah)

Keys in my palm and my breath runs fast All of those

promises fade in the glass I see my face and I know

her again Not your apology,

not your revenge I leave the table,

I leave the blame I leave the girl who answered to pain (huh)

For every night I stayed For every truth I hid I owe

myself the road

I owe myself the win (mm,

I know) I am walking out with my head up high Let

the door slam, let the old me die You took my years,

but you do not own tonight I found my voice,

now I choose my life I choose my life,

I choose my life (yeah,

no more)

I do not turn back when the morning comes My heart is

mine, and I am not done (mm-mmm)
