[Verse 1]
They handed her nothing and called it a start
She built herself upward from fracture and scar
Every lie she was fed became iron inside
Every hand that betrayed her just sharpened her mind
She gave all she had to the ones who took more
Then locked up her ribs and walked out through the door

[PreChorus]
She doesn't beg the room to understand
She already knows exactly where she stands

[Chorus]
Unbreakable, Arlene, you were never what they said
Every name they tried to nail you with dissolved instead
You are the storm they couldn't weather, the ground they couldn't shake
You are every single thing they were too small to take

[Verse 2]
She loved like a wildfire honest and wide
Threw everything in with no reason to hide
And they took all that heat and they left her with ash
But the embers they missed became something that lasts
She sees through the surface, the hollow, the fake
She'll call it out clean with no apology made

[PreChorus]
They cowered at the edge of what she was
Because real strength unnerves the ones who never had enough

[Chorus]
Unbreakable, Arlene, you were never what they said
Every name they tried to nail you with dissolved instead
You are the storm they couldn't weather, the ground they couldn't shake
You are every single thing they were too small to take

[Verse 3]
The roots that were twisted just grew deeper down
She wore all that silence like a secondhand crown
She carried the weight of a history unnamed
And turned every sorrow to a lantern of flame
She doesn't need mirrors or applause from the crowd
Her knowing lives quiet but it roars inside loud

[PreChorus]
The ones who walked away don't know what they lost
But she does — and she counted every single cost

[Chorus]
Unbreakable, Arlene, you were never what they said
Every name they tried to nail you with dissolved instead
You are the storm they couldn't weather, the ground they couldn't shake
You are every single thing they were too small to take

[Bridge]
She doesn't chase the ones who couldn't see her clear
She turns her face to what is coming, not what used to be here
The cosmos wrote her carefully in ink that doesn't fade
She is the rarest kind of rare — and she was always unafraid

[Outro]
So let them cry in corners, let them miss what they threw away
She's already past the wreckage and she's building something great
They never broke her — not even close
She is the thing that lasts
