I got a lot to learn, still chasing shadows in the dark
Tryna turn these scars into stars, but they keep falling apart
I speak in riddles, pray in silence, build my wings from broken vows
Mama said grow, but the rain come down, drown the seeds I plow
I’m a runaway train with a heart full of rust, trust slipping through my clutch
Love wrote me letters, I forgot to touch, now the ink bleeds dusk
If heaven’s got a classroom, save me a chair, I’ll be late
Trading these echoes of ache for a note that vibrates
Still I rise, still I burn, still I borrow tomorrow’s light
’Cause if losing is learning, I’m the smartest fool tonight
