Story Behind The Song

I wrote "clarity" as a reflection on a moment of emotional understanding-when confusion ,doubt or inner conflict finally begins to settle and you can see your life or a a relationship more honestly. The song is about that turning point where things don't necessarily become perfect, but they become clear enough to move forward with truth and self-awareness.

Lyrics

Clarity by Alexandra Higgins 2025


Every day is a gift
Unwrapping a present
See it for what it is
Is it time well spent?

When I was younger
I took love for granted
I'll never understand
Why do we do that?

CHORUS

It wasn't a straight line that got me here
The road to clarity not always clear
You picked up the broken pieces
Of a heart I thought couldn't mend
Put it back
Back together again

You put my heart back together again

BRIDGE

You can find clarity
As you get older
Knowing what you want
Learning from mistakes
Knowing what you don't

CHORUS

It wasn't a straight line that got me here
The road to clarity not always clear
You picked up the broken pieces
Of a heart I thought couldn't mend
Put it back
Back together again

You put my heart back together again
