Let it hurt

(Verse 1) I don’t flinch like I used to, Pain's a second skin. I've made a home in the hollow, Where no one’s ever been. They say I’m brave for standing, But they never see the fall. Some days I don’t rise, I just learn how to crawl. (Chorus) So let it hurt, let it burn, Let the silence take its turn. Don’t need the light right now— I just need the truth somehow. Let it ache, let it cry, I won’t run, I won’t lie. This is what it means to feel alive. Let it hurt… It’s all mine. (Verse 2) Every scar has a story That no one's ever asked. They just smile and move on Like I’m healed from the past. But the echoes still call me From rooms I’ve locked tight, And I sit with the shadows To get through the night. (Chorus) So let it hurt, let it burn, Let the silence take its turn. Don’t need saving, not tonight— Just need someone to hear it right. Let it ache, let it cry, I won’t run, I won’t lie. This is not a phase I’ll just survive. Let it hurt… It’s still mine. (Bridge) I used to beg to be softer, To be lighter, to be free. But now I wear my sorrow Like it’s stitched into me. You don’t have to understand, You don’t get to decide— This is what I am When I stop trying to hide. (Final Chorus) So let it hurt, let it burn, Let the pain have its return. Don’t tell me “it gets better” Like it makes this moment lesser. Let it ache, let it cry, This is how I stay alive. Even broken, even bruised, This is still my life. (Outro) Let it hurt. Let it stay. I’ll find my way Through the flames.
