ABOVE IT ALL

You said forever with your fingers crossed Built a dream on sand, and watched it wash You played a game, I played my heart Now look at you—alone in the dark You fooled the world with empty eyes But truth has wings and never lies I gave you gold, you gave me glass But darling, I still rise from the past And I'm flying high, above it all While you're left staring at the wall You had a diamond, didn't see The wonder you had inside of me I walk through fire, I've known the fall But I still glow, I've kept it all You lost your soul to keep control I found my wings—you've got a hole You whispered love with coward lips But shook my world with sinking ships You ran from light, I faced the flame You'll never feel real love again You built your kingdom on a lie Now silence is your lullaby I found my truth in every scar And I'm still shining where you are And I'm flying high, above it all While you're just waiting for a call You had a miracle in me But broke it all so carelessly I rise, I burn, I feel, I heal I made it out, I made it real You lost your chance behind your pride I wear my wounds, I walk in light I'm not the pain you tried to leave I'm every breath you couldn't breathe You'll never touch this soul again I'm not your loss — I'm my own win So I'm flying high, above it all Unshaken, fierce, unbreakable You had a galaxy in me But chose the dark — now I am free With every tear I learned to soar I'm not your shadow anymore You gave me nothing — I became A storm, a star, a fearless name
