[Intro]
Yeah…
All this metal, all this pain...
Turned it into gold, still feel the strain...

[Hook]
Built from broken, made it through the smoke
Rising from the wreckage, never lost hope
Built from broken, scars in every note
Heart still heavy but I’m built to cope
Built from broken, heat inside the cold
Pressure made a diamond, story still untold
Built from broken, I don’t bend, I mold
Still movin' forward with a soul made of gold

[Verse 1]
She was the calm in the fire, the light in my storm
We was runnin' salvage routes like we was born
For this grind, this bond, this love in the rust
But I let it all break when I lost her trust
Too many fights, too much pride in my tone
Star Kitten came back, and the tension just grown
Convos in the breakroom turned cold overnight
And my queen saw shadows where I swore there was light
Shoulda told her more, shoulda slowed my pace
But the past ain’t clay — you can’t reshape
I gave her space... watched her drift away
Now I’m livin’ with echoes of yesterday

[Hook]
Built from broken, made it through the smoke
Rising from the wreckage, never lost hope
Built from broken, scars in every note
Heart still heavy but I’m built to cope
Built from broken, heat inside the cold
Pressure made a diamond, story still untold
Built from broken, I don’t bend, I mold
Still movin' forward with a soul made of gold

[Verse 2]
Now we speak in pulses, quiet like space
But I send her flowers from Bloom just in case
Took her to dinner, talked all through the night
Tried not to fall too fast in the light
Of her eyes — yeah, blue like the skies
Still the same woman, still the same drive
We talked ‘bout the runs, the old Reclaimer days
How we built somethin’ real from the dust and the haze
Told her I’ve changed, still got the crown
But I’d trade it all just to have her around
I ain’t tryna rush, I know it’ll take time
But I still hear her laugh when I write these lines

[Bridge]
Still hear her voice in the hum of the drive
Still feel her smile in the coldest night
Still got a crew, still run my ops
But none of it hits when the real love stops

[Hook]
Built from broken, made it through the smoke
Rising from the wreckage, never lost hope
Built from broken, scars in every note
Heart still heavy but I’m built to cope
Built from broken, heat inside the cold
Pressure made a diamond, story still untold
Built from broken, I don’t bend, I mold
Still movin' forward with a soul made of gold

[Outro]
Left her a message after the run
Same spot on Bloom, under that sun
Told her the stars don’t shine the same
Since she left, I ain’t been the same
