DAMN NEAR KILLED ME

Intro

Yeah...

I been through some things

They don't know the half of it

But I'm still here

Still standing

Chorus

Damn near killed me, but I made it through

Had the whole world on my shoulders, still I pushed on through

Damn near broke me, but I found my way

Turned the darkest nights into a brighter day

Damn near killed me, yeah, the pressure was real

Had to learn how to heal, had to learn how to feel

Now I'm looking in the mirror like, “Look what I became”

I went through all that pain and still protected my name

Verse

I had days when the weight felt heavy on my chest

Everybody saw the smile, never knew about the stress

Had to keep my head up when I wanted to give in

Told myself, “Keep going, you ain't finished yet”

People switched sides, yeah, I learned who was true

Lost a couple people, but I found myself too

Every setback tried to tell me I was never gonna win

But I turned every “no” into a reason to begin

Pre-chorus

I came too far

To turn back now

I found my voice

And I'm saying it loud

Chorus

Damn near killed me, but I made it through

Had the whole world on my shoulders, still I pushed on through

Damn near broke me, but I found my way

Turned the darkest nights into a brighter day

Verse

Now I'm stronger than the person that I used to be

Had to fight through the doubt just to finally see

I don't owe them an explanation for the road that I chose

I'm still writing my story, and the story ain't closed

If the pressure comes back, I know what to do

Take a breath, keep moving, find somebody I can talk to

I ain't hiding my scars, I'm proud that I grew

Everything I went through helped me become something new

Bridge

I thought I couldn't make it

Thought the road was way too long

But every morning that I woke up

Was another chance to carry on

Chorus

Damn near killed me, but I made it through

Everything I survived made me stronger too

Damn near broke me, but I found my way

Now I'm standing in the light after all those days

Damn near killed me...

But I'm still here.

Still breathing.

Still dreaming.

Still becoming me.

Outro

Yeah...

The story ain't over.

Not even close.
