LYRICS
I stopped fighting every scar,
stopped running from the cracks.
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh, oh
What I thought would ruin me
was leading me right back.
[Verse 1]
I used to hide the fractures,
cover every seam.
Thought perfection was protection,
thought strong meant unseen.
But life kept pressing on the weak spots,
every fault exposed
and I learned the truth about the breaking point
is where the growth unfolds.
[Chorus]
That’s where the light gets in,
through the parts I couldn’t mend.
Every break, every bend
that’s where the light gets in.
I don’t need to hide it anymore,
I don’t need to pretend.
Every crack has a reason…
that’s where the light gets in.
[Verse 2]
There’s a quiet kind of healing
you don’t notice right away.
It doesn’t shout in triumph,
it just teaches you to stay.
In the space between the moments,
when the noise fades thin,
I felt hope learning how to breathe
through the places I caved in.
I stopped chasing something flawless,
stopped waiting to be whole.
Turns out grace was never distant
it was patient with my soul.
[Chorus]
That’s where the light gets in,
through the parts I couldn’t mend.
Every break, every bend
that’s where the light gets in.
I don’t need to hide it anymore,
I don’t need to pretend.
Every crack has a reason…
that’s where the light gets in.
[Bridge]
If I never fell apart,
I wouldn’t know the way back home.
If I never lost my footing,
I wouldn’t learn to stand alone.
Some things don’t arrive complete
they arrive to teach you how to heal.
Sometimes the damage-
is the doorway.
