After the Fall

I remember hitting ground
Everything I built came down
Thought the silence was the end
Didn't know it was a friend
Lay there longer than I should
Learned the things I never could
From the floor, I saw it clear
What was fake and what was real
Not broken, not lost
Just learning the cost
Not ending, not done
Just finding out who I've become
After the fall, I finally knew
The version of me that the breaking broke through
After the fall, the ground was the start
You can't build what lasts without breaking apart
After the fall, mm
After the fall, mm
People talk about the climb
No one mentions how you find
Yourself inside the deepest low
That's where the real things grow
I don't curse the fall no more
I know what the falling's for
Every crack that let me break
Was a crack that let me wake
Not broken, not lost
Just learning, the cost
Not ending, not done
Just finding out who I've become
After the fall, I finally knew
The version of me that the breaking broke through
After the fall, the ground was the start
You can't build what lasts without breaking apart
After the fall, mm
After the fall, mm
They never tell you
The fall has a floor
And the floor has a name
And the name is yours
After the fall, I finally knew
The version of me that the breaking broke through
After the fall, the ground was the start
You can't build what lasts without breaking apart
I know now
I know now
I know
(After the fall) still standing
(After the fall) still here
(After the fall)
(After the fall)
