[Intro]
0:13
Verse 1
0:18
I built a house of answers I outgrew,
0:18
Framed it up with versions of the truth,
0:22
Every crack I painted over pride,
0:27
Every doubt I buried deep inside.
0:32
When the mirror spoke, I turned away,
0:36
Called it doubt, convinced myself it swayed,
0:39
Felt the tremor, blamed it on the ground—
0:42
Anything but question what I’d found.
0:45
Pre-Chorus
0:48
’Cause every time I’m cornered by the light,
0:48
I sharpen up my reasons to be right,
0:52
But somewhere in the silence I can see
0:57
The hardest thing to change is me.
1:01
Hook (Chorus)
1:04
So revise me, don’t disguise me,
1:04
If I’m clinging to a lie, then untie me.
1:09
I don’t wanna win if I’m blind inside,
1:13
I don’t wanna stand on a fractured pride.
1:15
If the truth cuts deep, let it find me—
1:18
Strip away the story I hide behind me.
1:21
I’d rather lose who I used to be
1:23
Than lose what’s real—
1:27
So revise me.
1:30
Verse 2
1:36
Every feeling writes a narrative,
1:36
Turns a moment into relative,
1:39
Silence means I’m not enough,
1:42
Disagreement means I must defend my love.
1:44
But what if pain is not a proof?
1:47
What if fear is not the truth?
1:49
What if being wrong won’t make me small—
1:52
Maybe it could free me after all.
1:54
Pre-Chorus
1:57
’Cause I can feel the armor on my skin,
1:57
Every explanation closing in,
2:02
But strength is not in shouting what I knew—
2:06
It’s letting something better break through.
2:10
Hook (Chorus)
2:13
So revise me, don’t disguise me,
2:14
If I’m clinging to a lie, then untie me.
2:18
I don’t wanna win if I’m blind inside,
2:22
I don’t wanna stand on a fractured pride.
2:25
If the truth cuts deep, let it find me—
2:27
Strip away the story I hide behind me.
2:30
I’d rather lose who I used to be
2:33
Than lose what’s real—
2:36
So revise me.
2:39
Bridge
2:43
What if I am not my defense?
2:43
Not my certainty, not my pretense?
2:47
What if the ground I’m fighting for
2:51
Is just a door I’ve locked before?
2:54
What would change if I let go
2:56
Of needing every answer known?
2:59
Would I fall—
3:02
Or finally grow?
3:05
Final Chorus
3:08
So revise me, realign me,
3:10
If my ego’s in the way, then refine me.
3:13
I don’t wanna live just to justify,
3:17
Every fragile version I amplify.
3:20
If the truth is fire, ignite me—
3:23
Burn away the fear that confines me.
3:25
I’d rather break than never see,
3:28
Rather bend than never be free.
3:30
I’d rather lose who I used to be
3:38
Than lose what’s real—
3:44
Revise me.
3:47
