Lyrics
Intro
This ain’t just a song. It’s the first time I’ve bled without fists.
I did my time, and it wasn’t freedom that waited.
It was you. And two little dragons.
So I wrote this, not as a love song—
but a sentence I chose to keep serving.
Verse
I woke up to concrete and screams in my head
Days blurred like the nights and the thoughts that I bled
But somewhere beyond all the bruises and chains
I pictured your smile like the calm in the rain
Pre-chorus
I held to the fire, I broke into ash
But still kept a space where your heartbeat would crash
Chorus
You're the drop in the ocean that pulled me to shore
The reason my fists don’t fly like before
You’re the light in a cell, the dream that came true
I didn’t escape — I chose to come home to you
Yeah, my last sentence was you
Verse
They said I was violence, a ghost without grace
But you saw a man in the blood on my face
Now I breathe with the dragons, they sleep on my chest
And I fight with my arms down, 'cause love does the rest
Pre-chorus
You never asked why, you just pulled me through
And now every war I win’s because of you
Chorus
You're the drop in the ocean that pulled me to shore
The voice in the dark that I couldn’t ignore
You’re the safety I never believed could be true
I didn’t get free — I just came home to you
Yeah, my last sentence was you
Bridge
Every scar I carry led straight to your name
Every locked door just burned in your flame
I could’ve stayed rage, could’ve lived without end
But you gave me more than a reason — you gave me again
Chorus
You're the drop in the ocean, the calm in the war
The weight on my chest that I live for
You're the safety, the blood, the soft and the true
I didn’t escape — I was always running to you
Yeah, my last sentence…
was you.
