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 clearly, what was faking
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, hummm
After the fall

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, hummm
After the fall

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
