Core

I looked in the mirror saw cracks in the glass

Each line a story from a love that won't last

But the pieces fit tighter than they did before

I'm not broken just learning how to soar

I know myself I've found my core

Through the fire I'm stronger than before

Heartache taught me how to rise

I'm a phoenix burning through the skies

The echoes of sorrow tried to pull me down

But I found my footing on shaky ground

I've built a garden from the pain of it all

I know myself I've found my core

Through the fire I'm stronger than before

Heartache taught me how to rise

I'm a phoenix burning through the skies

I don't need the chains that held me tight

I've traded shadows for the morning light

Every scar a medal I proudly wear

Proof of battles fought with love and care

I know myself I've found my core

Through the fire I'm stronger than before

Heartache taught me how to rise

I'm a phoenix burning through the skies
