Look at me now
By Tom Elliott
Verse 1
I was stumbling around in the dark,
just hoping not to trip over my own feet.
Fights, drama, all that mess—I stuck it out anyway.
Every time I cried or hit rock bottom,
weirdly, I got a little tougher.
Sometimes, when everything got super quiet,
I’d catch myself singing a tune, I didn’t even know was in me.
Chorus
Look at me now, coming out of the wreckage,
shaking off the pain like dust off my shoulders.
Snapping those heavy chains that left me out in the storm.
Each step pushing me closer to some kind of light.
Guess I’m finally learning how to kick that darkness to the curb.
Verse 2
Yeah, heartbreak carved its initials on me, deep.
Not gonna pretend it didn’t sting.
But I’m not about to let that rob me of that one thing.
Storms hit hard, sure, but I learned how to plant my feet and stand up straight.
In the end? I’m coming out on top. Watch me.
Chorus
Look at me now, coming out of the wreckage,
shaking off the pain like dust off my shoulders.
Snapping those heavy chains that left me out in the storm.
Each step pushing me closer to some kind of light.
Guess I’m finally learning how to kick that darkness to the curb.
Verse 3
Hope’s finally shining its lights on me, cutting through the gloom.
I’m free, I’m flying, sky’s not even the limit . Dreams, goals, all that good stuff?
Right there, just gotta grab ‘em.
And you know what? For the first time,
I actually feel calm inside.
Bridge:
Every scar? Proof I didn’t just roll over.
Every bruise? A badge that says, “Yeah, I fought.”
I look in the mirror now and see someone who’s been through hell and came out swinging. Feels like, finally, I belong somewhere—right here.
Chorus
Look at me now, coming out of the wreckage,
shaking off the pain like dust off my shoulders.
Snapping those heavy chains that left me out in the storm.
Each step pushing me closer to some kind of light.
Guess I’m finally learning how to kick that darkness to the curb.
