[Verse 1]
You came in like a match that won't apologize for flame,
A quiet war inside your chest before you learned your name.
You carry oceans underneath a surface made of steel,
The kind of soul that breaks apart just learning how to feel.
Bri, you walk like thunder wrapped in something soft and slow,
A fire born from borrowed dark the world will come to know.

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been told to hold it in, to keep the peace, to bend,
But something in your ribs won't quit—it's just not built to end.

[Chorus]
So burn, Bri, burn tenderly—you don't have to choose,
Between the girl who keeps the peace and the one with nothing left to lose.
The cosmos carved your bones from war and dressed them up in grace,
And every constellation bends to hold your heavy place.

[Verse 2]
You love like jumping off a cliff and building wings mid-fall,
With hands that shake and eyes that say, "I'll risk it, give me all."
The ones who match you won't be safe—they'll be honest and they'll stay,
They'll hold the mirror, hold the mess, and love you anyway.
Bri, your heart's a revolution dressed in velvet thread,
And all the things you haven't said are louder than what's bled.

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need their permission, and you don't need their applause,
The universe already chose your side without a pause.

[Chorus]
So burn, Bri, burn tenderly—you don't have to choose,
Between the girl who keeps the peace and the one with nothing left to lose.
The cosmos carved your bones from war and dressed them up in grace,
And every constellation bends to hold your heavy place.

[Bridge]
And when the weight of growing up sits heavy on your spine,
Remember: every scar you earned is stitched with gold, not twine.
Your purpose isn't loud—it hums beneath your skin like sound,
And every time you chose to stay, you laid your kingdom down.

[Outro]
So go, Bri—the sky's been holding open like a door,
You've always been enough; now step into what you're for.
