Verse 1

I lost myself in every wrong turn and every stranger’s smile,

Chasing answers in smoke, running miles just to stay still for a while.

Every flame I touched left a scar I tried to hide,

I called it growth, but it was just me getting lost inside.

The world kept spinning, and I kept trying to catch its speed,

Pretending I knew the map, even though I couldn’t read the street.

Chorus

Now I finally see the road without looking over my shoulder,

No more masks, no more stories I had to sell to stay bolder.

I’ve been burned, I’ve been broken, but that’s how I learned to hold fire,

I know what to do with my life—I’m not just surviving anymore.

Verse 2

The echoes of “you’re not enough” are fading into the walls,

I stopped trading my truth for the comfort of someone else’s applause.

Each mistake was a lesson, each burn a line on the map,

And now I walk with my head up, not looking back at the trap.

It’s not that the pain disappeared or the fear lost its grip,
