Paroles de la chanson I'm not my Wounds par IngaRose

I learned how to smile with my teeth clenched tight
Learned how to love with my hands still shaking
They say time heals, but time just pass me by
Left me holding names I stop saying
I bled quiet so nobody noticed
I stayed strong so nobody else
I learned how to survive in pieces
But surviving ain't the same as intact
Every scar got a story
Every tear got a name
But I refuse to wear my pain like it's all I am

I'm not my wounds
I'm not the nights I cried alone
I'm not the hands that let me down

Or the love that felt like stone
I'm not my wounds
I'm more than what I had to endure
I bled, I broke, I heal, I heal
But I am not my wound

I stay too long in wounds that drain me
Called it loyalty, called it love
I made excuses for the damage
Said maybe I'm just not enough
But pain ain't proof of purpose and suffering and grace
I don't know my past, my future
I don't know my hurt, my face
I lay my anger at my fear
Let my truth finally speak
I stopped apologizing for needing peace

I'm not my wound
I'm not the lies I learned to believe
I'm not the weight I carry for you
All the parts you couldn't see
All the parts you couldn't see
I'm not my wounds
I'm more than what you put me through
I survive myself, I chose my life, I'm not removed

Don't call me broken, I was been under pressure
Don't call me damaged
I was learning how to measure
My worth without your hands on it
My voice without your noise
I didn't lose myself
I found I kept my heart even when it hurt
I kept my soul even when it burned

I'm not my wounds
I'm not my trauma talking loud
I'm not the past that tried to cage me
Or the fear that followed me around
I'm not my wounds
I am healing in real time
I am breath. I am fire. I am mine
I'm still here, still standing, still choosing me
And that's the truth they couldn't take from me
