Damaged But Not Done
Damaged But Not Done
A soul-baring R&B ballad about finding real love after surviving emotional wreckage. It tells the story of someone who’s been through heartbreak, betrayal, and healing; someone who once believed they were too broken to be loved. But then, they meet a person who sees past the pain, past the scars… and loves them not in spite of their past, but through it. It’s about resilience, grace, and learning that even damaged goods still hold divine value.

Lyrics
[Chorus] They say I’m broken, yeah, I’ve heard it all before Too many scars for someone to adore But you look at me like I’m still worth the try Like the past in me didn’t make you say goodbye Love don’t start clean, it crawls from the ashes Found me buried under all those past habits Yeah, I’m cracked, but baby Still fighting, I still run You see I’m damaged, not done [Verse 1] I been down roads that I pray you’ll never see Held false confessions, but called it loyalty Broke through most nights where I barely slept Tryna stitch up love that wouldn’t be kept Told myself lies just to feel less alone Built a house on pain and tried to call it home But healing don’t happen without the wreckage Had to break down just to find the message Tryna move on, don’t crave attention Just want love, that don’t need redemption Had to go through the past to get to the present And somehow, you made that journey feel worth it [Pre-Chorus 1] Didn’t think love could feel possible You saw my flaws like they were optional [Chorus] They say I’m broken, yeah, I’ve heard it all before Too many scars for someone to adore But you look at me like I’m still worth the try Like the past in me didn’t make you say goodbye Love don’t start clean, it crawls from the ashes Found me buried under all those past habits Yeah, I’m cracked, but baby Still fighting, I still run You see I’m damaged, not done [Verse 2] Now I don’t leave when someone says “stay” You created a safe place to feel okay Used to run from the ones who never cared too much But you move with care, no fear, no rush Your patience kisses me with the sweetest touch Turned every scar into something I can trust I ain’t perfect, and you never asked me to be You just held space, and let me be me Now I give love without second-guessin’ The way you look at me, it’s so refreshing It took time, but I finally see The kind of love that was waiting for me [Pre-Chorus 2] Now I see beauty in where I’ve been You loved the broken in spite what was carried within [Chorus] They say I’m broken, yeah, I’ve heard it all before Too many scars for someone to adore But you look at me like I’m still worth the try Like the past in me didn’t make you say goodbye Love don’t start clean, it crawls from the ashes Found me buried under all those past habits Yeah, I’m cracked, but baby I still run [Bridge] You didn’t try to fix me, just prayed And in your quiet, I felt safe Didn’t ask me to change or play pretend Just showed me how real love truly begins [Chorus] They say I’m broken, yeah, I’ve heard it all before Too many scars for someone to adore But you look at me like I’m still worth the try Like the past in me didn’t make you say goodbye Love don’t start clean (don't start clean) Found me buried under all those past habits (all) Yeah, I’m cracked, but baby Still fighting, I still run You see I’m damaged, not done (no, I’m not done, no) [Outro] (Not done) No, no No, no Don’t have to hide no more (no more, no more) No more, no more (no, no, no, no, no) I'm still here (I’m still here) I'm still here (I’m still here) I'm still here
A Piece of Me
A Piece of Me
A Piece of Me is about inner reflection on healing, triggers, and the parts of yourself that don’t disappear just because time passes. This isn’t about blame or heartbreak... it’s about growth, honesty, and learning to live with what shaped you. Some scars fade. Some stay. This song sits in that space.

Lyrics
A lotta folks see the calm, but not what’s buried underneath You still got a piece of me Caught myself slippin’ again Same old thought I swore I buried back then The hammer cocked back, that pain lives That version of me still know where the trigger is I been tryin’ to live like I changed But there’s damage in me I can’t explain Still askin’ why I act this way Like time ain’t passed since that day I been holdin’ back the flood Been tellin’ myself I’ve done enough (enough, yeah) But every time I’m feelin’ free Somethin’ rises up and bury me (ohh) Can’t shake what you left in me (left in me) Still feel you in moments I shouldn’t I act fine, but I’m still triggered You still got a piece of me Stopped tryna outrun this pain (this pain) Started sittin’ with the parts, I used to blame (blame) I ain’t fixed, but I face it different Learned how to change the predicament Some days I still fall short (fall short) But at least I don’t lie to myself no more (no more) Still got work to do, but I got hope Ain’t no more being my scapegoat I been holdin’ space for the version I’m tryna be Tired of fightin’ the faces that don’t fit me If the future can’t wait (can't wait), then I’ll let it be (be) Keep moving, shaping who I see in me I been holdin’ back the flood (holdin') Been tellin’ myself I’ve done enough But every time I’m feelin’ free Somethin’ rises up and bury me (me) Can’t shake what you left in me (in me) Still feel you in moments I shouldn’t (I know, I know) I act fine, but I’m still triggered (still triggered) You still got a piece of me (oh) Can’t shake what you left in me (but I’m healing) Still feel you in moments I shouldn’t (less and less) I act fine, but I’m still triggered (I admit it) You still got a piece of me Just not all Just not all (just not all of me) (just not all of me) You still got a piece of me
