I've lived this scene before
Same night, same mistakes
Different eyes, steadier hands
I know how much it takes

I used to chase the feeling
Like it owed me something back
Now I let it pass through me
I don't need it to last

I don't flinch
I don't freeze
I let memory be memory

I've lived this
I've felt the cost
I know what breaks
I know what holds
I'm not afraid of the truth anymore
I've lived this
And I'm still here

I mistook noise for meaning
And speed for being alive
I learned silence isn't empty
It's where I learned to survive

I don't need to prove a thing
I've lived this
