I Fell Hard, Lost My Way

I fell hard, lost my way
Shadows chased me every day
Thought the light would never come
But I kept walking, though I was numb

You left when I needed you most
I raised my glass and made a toast
To the pain that made me strong
To the nights I proved 'em wrong

Now the storm has passed me by
There's fire burning in my eyes

I rise again, like a sunrise in the rain
I found my heart through the hurt and through the pain
You thought I'd break, but I just bent
Now I'm stronger than I've ever been
You walked away, now I stand
I rise again

There were nights I couldn't breathe
Your goodbye cut way too deep
But tears don't water weakness, no
They grow the roots that make you whole

Now I ride these country roads
With my boots and my new hopes
And that song on the radio
Says I'm better off alone

Dustin' off my wounded pride
Got that sparkle back inside

I rise again, like a sunrise in the rain
I found my heart through the hurt and through the pain
You thought I'd break, but I just bent
Now I'm stronger than I've ever been
You walked away, now I stand
I rise again

Every heartbreak taught me something
Every loss just kept me coming
Back to who I am today
And I wouldn't change a single day

I rise again, like a fire from the flame
I wear my scars like a cowboy wears his name
You thought I'd fall, but here I stand
With a bottle in one hand
And a song that says I can
I rise again, yeah, I rise again

So if you're broken, lost a friend
Just hold on, you'll rise again
