Fractured Reflections Lyrics

I'm standing here with a crooked grin

They say I've lost I'll never win

Whispers cut like broken glass

Telling me my time has passed

They call me a shadow of what I could be

Pointing fingers at the cracks they see

Friends fade like smoke in the air

Family tangled in silent stares

But I'm not the picture they paint of me

I'm more than the scars they choose to see

Lonely lost—yeah I've been there before

But these fractured reflections don't tell the score

They say I'm crawling but I'm climbing high

Counting me out while I reach for the sky

Label me a dreamer who never found ground

But they don't hear the thunder in my sound

I've burned through bridges yeah I know

But ashes teach where rivers won't flow

They watch my silence think I'm weak

But they don't know the fire I keep

But I'm not the picture they paint of me

I'm more than the scars they choose to see

Lonely lost—yeah I've been there before

But these fractured reflections don't tell the score

I'm not the picture they paint of me

I'm more than the scars they choose to see

Lonely lost—yeah I've been there before

But these fractured reflections don't tell the score

I may be bruised but I'm standing strong

This is my life my own damn song

I'll bear the weight I'll face the blame

'Cause I'm more than the letters spelling my name

I'm not the picture they paint of me

I'm more than the scars they choose to see

Lonely lost—yeah I've been there before

But these fractured reflections don't tell the score

I'm not the picture they paint of me

I'm more than the scars they choose to see

Lonely lost—yeah I've been there before

But these fractured reflections don't tell the score

So let them talk let them say

I'm still rising day by day

Each scar a story each bruise a line

In this fractured life I'm doing fine
