ntro — whispered
You thought I'd disappear...
You thought I'd die with you.
But every scar you left behind
Taught me what I could survive.

Verse 1
I gave you every piece of me
You turned my trust into a memory
I watched the person I became
Disappear beneath the weight of your name

You left me drowning in the dark
With nothing but a broken heart
I begged the silence for a sign
But all I heard was, “you're out of time”

Pre-Chorus
I hit the bottom
I lost my way
But something inside me
Refused to break

Chorus — clean + powerful
WATCH ME RISE
From everything you left behind
WATCH ME RISE
You couldn't take what's still alive

You thought your goodbye would bury me
But you only gave me strength to breathe
I lost you, but I found my fight
NOW WATCH ME RISE

Verse 2
I used to wake up wanting you
Now I wake up knowing what to do
Your shadow doesn't own my mind
I'm leaving every piece of you behind

I wore your love like a loaded gun
Held it close until the damage was done
But I won't carry what you broke
I'm turning every scar into hope

Pre-Chorus
I hit the bottom
I learned to crawl
Then I found my feet
And I stood through it all

Chorus
WATCH ME RISE
From everything you left behind
WATCH ME RISE
You couldn't take what's still alive

You thought your goodbye would bury me
But you only gave me strength to breathe
I lost you, but I found my fight
NOW WATCH ME RISE

Post-Chorus — screamed
I'M NOT YOUR VICTIM!
I'M NOT YOUR MEMORY!
I'M NOT THE MAN YOU LEFT BEHIND!

Bridge — atmospheric
Maybe I needed to break
Maybe I needed the pain
To finally see that losing you
Was never losing myself

I spent so long chasing a ghost
Trying to become what you wanted most
But I don't need your love anymore
I know who the hell I am.

Breakdown — screamed

You broke my heart—
I BUILT IT BACK.

You watched me fall—
I FOUND MY PATH.

You thought I'd stay
BENEATH YOUR SHADOW.

BUT I'M STILL HERE.

AND I'M GETTING STRONGER.

WATCH. ME. RISE.

Final Chorus — huge
WATCH ME RISE
From the ashes of the life we had
WATCH ME RISE
I'm stronger than the love that made me crash

You thought your goodbye would bury me
But you only gave me strength to breathe
I lost you, but I found my fight
AND NOW I'M ALIVE

WATCH ME RISE
You don't get to define my scars
WATCH ME RISE
You don't get to tell me who we are

I loved you once
But I choose myself tonight
You were the darkest part of my life
AND I AM THE LIGHT

Outro — screamed
YOU BROKE ME.
YOU BURIED ME.
YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS THE END.

BUT I CAME BACK.

WATCH ME RISE.
