Wearing My Own Name

[Verse 1]

I used to fear the rain,

I used to hate the night,

I blamed the world for every scar

I carried out of sight.

I watched my dreams decay,

I watched some people leave,

I thought the things that broke my heart

Were all I'd ever be.

[Pre-Chorus]

But time has strange designs,

It bends what it can't break,

I found a fire in the cracks

No one could ever take.

[Chorus]

Now I rise when the pressure comes,

Turn the hurt into where I'm from,

No more waiting for a sign,

I got my future in my hands tonight.

You can push, but I won't fold,

I learned my worth the hard way, cold,

Every scar became a flame,

I walk through weather wearing my own name.

[Verse 2]

I keep the lessons close,

But leave the blame behind,

The doors that closed against me

Made me build a better life.

I don't need their approval,

I don't need their parade,

The voice I nearly buried

Is the one that finally stayed.

[Pre-Chorus]

And time has strange designs,

It bends what it can't break,

I found a fire in the cracks

No one could ever take.

[Chorus]

Now I rise when the pressure comes,

Turn the hurt into where I'm from,

No more waiting for a sign,

I got my future in my hands tonight.

You can push, but I won't fold,

I learned my worth the hard way, cold,

Every scar became a flame,

I walk through weather wearing my own name.

[Bridge]

Let it fall, let it test me,

I am more than what it left me,

If the road gets rough again,

I'll meet it standing, not pretending.

[Final Chorus]

Now I rise when the pressure comes,

Turn the hurt into where I'm from,

No more waiting for a sign,

I got my future in my hands tonight.

You can push, but I won't fold,

You can push, but I won't fold,

I learned my worth the hard way, cold,

Every scar became a flame,

I walk through weather wearing my own name.

[Outro]

Wearing my own name,

I walk through weather,

Wearing my own name.
