Whispers of a Damaged Soul

[Verse 1]
I once bloomed beneath the morning sky,
A heart unscarred, a spirit high.
But storms rolled in with quiet grace,
And left behind what time can't erase.

[Verse 2]
They stitched my smile with threads so thin,
While silent dread grew deep within.
Each laugh now hides a hint of pain,
Like memories falling in midnight rain.

[Pre-Chorus]
They say the soul can heal with time,
But some wounds never fall in line.
I walk through days like a haunted tune,
A wilted rose beneath the moon.

[Chorus]
But even cracks can softly gleam,
In shattered glass, there lives a dream.
And though I ache, I still survive,
A damaged soul, but still alive.

[Verse 3]
The world still spins, but not the same,
My shadow whispers out my name.
Yet in the dark, I find my fire,
A quiet strength, a lost desire.

[Bridge]
I wear my scars like silent art,
Pieces of a breaking heart.
Still I rise, I breathe, I strive,
Holding on, I stay alive.

[Final Chorus]
Yes, even cracks can softly gleam,
In broken light, I chase my dream.
And though I ache, I still survive,
A damaged soul, but still alive.
