[Verse 1]
There's a ocean living underneath your skin,
A current pulling deep where the light grows thin,
You feel the whole world first before you speak,
And carry what the others are too numb to seek,
The fire rises early, moves before the thought,
A quiet war between the dreamed and the wrought

[PreChorus]
They see the stillness, they don't see the storm inside,
The tidal pull you've learned to swallow, learned to hide

[Chorus]
Lauren, you were written in a harder hand,
The sky did not make you soft, it made you stand,
Not made of gentle light but of something real,
A depth the easy words were never built to feel

[Verse 2]
You love like something old, like something true,
You dive in first and let the whole tide rush through,
Then wonder why the burn became a wound,
Why beauty always seems to reach you just too soon,
What looks like recklessness is actually trust,
The kind that only lives in those who've turned to dust

[PreChorus]
The ache beneath your worth is not a flaw you hold,
It's the mark of someone early told their gold was cold

[Chorus]
Lauren, you were written in a harder hand,
The sky did not make you soft, it made you stand,
Not made of gentle light but of something real,
A depth the easy words were never built to feel

[Verse 3]
You've built your name from silence and from stone,
And learned the cost of feeling things alone,
Your mind runs ten years forward while you wait,
And thinks in languages the small ones can't translate,
You've worn the mask of capable and fine,
While something ancient paced the darker underground shrine

[PreChorus]
You don't owe anyone a version they can hold,
The real you isn't too much — it's just too whole

[Chorus]
Lauren, you were written in a harder hand,
The sky did not make you soft, it made you stand,
Not made of gentle light but of something real,
A depth the easy words were never built to feel

[Verse 4]
The wound that lives inside your sense of worth,
Was never proof of lack — it mapped your earth,
Now something shifts the way the season turns,
A slow reclaim of all the ground that burns,
What you once gave away without a name,
Is walking back to you and saying — I remain

[PreChorus]
Not healed because the hurt has gone away,
But whole because you chose to stay, to stay

[Chorus]
Lauren, you were written in a harder hand,
The sky did not make you soft, it made you stand,
Not made of gentle light but of something real,
A depth the easy words were never built to feel

[Bridge]
The stars did not protect you from the wreck,
They built the bones you needed to reflect,
And everything you've swallowed, held, survived,
Is evidence — not wound — that you arrived

[Outro]
You don't need stars to bless what you already are,
The map was always drawn inside the scar,
Lauren, you were never lost — you were becoming,
And everything that's yours is finally coming
