Lyrics

Honey,

I used to think every goodbye was a piece of me disappearing.

But I was wrong.

Every road I walked, every storm I survived, every love I carried was becoming something.

It was becoming me.

I am not what time took away.

I am everything time made.

I am everything time made.

I was a daughter with a dream in her eyes.

I was a woman learning how to survive.

I was the hands that held on through the rain.

I was the heart that loved through the pain.

I was the morning after the longest night.

I was the spark that refused to die.

I was the river.

I was the stone.

I was every place I called my home.

I wore the seasons on my shoulders.

I wore the memories in my skin.

And every chapter I thought was over

was where my story began again.

I became honey, the flame nobody could see.

In my hair, there was a wildfire inside of me.

I became darling, a broken dove.

Undone.

Every shadow that I walked through made me closer to the sun.

I don't need the years behind me.

I don't need another name because everything I have lived through built the woman I became.

I wore black for the nights I cried.

I wore blue when I learned to fly.

I wore red when I found my voice.

I wore gold when I made my choice.

No power on me, no painted face, no trying to run another race.

I love the woman in the mirror because she undid her trace.

Every line is a little story.

Every scar is a little flame.

Every year became a color.

Every loss became my name.

To the woman looking in the mirror

wondering if her best days are gone.

Honey, listen closely.

Your story did not end.

The sunrise does not ask the mountain how many winters it has seen.

It simply shines.

And so do you.

I am the fire.

I became, honey, still burning.

Still burning.

Still alive.

I walked through a thousand sunsets and I still chase the morning light.

I am the fire.

I became, darling,

Every dream, every scar, every mile the years didn't take my beauty.

They taught my soul to smile.

I am not fading away.

I am not yesterday.

I am every road I traveled.

I am every choice I made.

I am the love I gave.

I am the tears I overcame.

I am the woman standing here.

I am the fire I became.

Still burning, still burning, still shining, still becoming
