Verse 1
She learned young how to disappear
In a house where love meant walking on fear
Daddy drank the silence dry
Mama cursed God and kissed goodbye
They said, “Smile pretty, hide the bruise”
Taught her pain was something you choose
She thought a veil could be a door
But ran straight into a darker war
Pre-Chorus
She traded one cage for another
New last name, same old thunder
Chorus
Now she sleeps with the lights on
He’s a storm with a Sunday song
Told her “forever,” then broke her fast
Left her soul like shattered glass
But in the dark, two voices rise
Little feet, little lullabies
They don't ask her to be strong
Just love them—and she holds on
Verse 2
He don’t hit, but his words still kill
With quiet looks that freeze and spill
Tells her she’s lucky he stuck around
Like mercy’s something you’re supposed to drown
She hides the bills, she hides the tears
Talks to the mirror like it hears
Says, “Maybe next life, maybe then”
But starts again at 6 AM
Pre-Chorus
She’s got no map, just a prayer
But finds her strength in rocking chairs
Chorus
Now she sleeps with the lights on
He’s a storm with a Sunday song
Told her “forever,” then broke her fast
Left her soul like shattered glass
But in the dark, two voices rise
Little feet, little lullabies
They don't ask her to be strong
Just love them—and she holds on
Bridge
One day they’ll ask her why she stayed
She’ll say, “You were the light I made”
Not every war is fought with fists
Some just bleed in whispered fists
Final Chorus
So she builds from what she’s got
A cradle in a battlefield plot
And even though the past still screams
She’ll give them what she never dreamed
No more fire, no more flight
Just a mother wrapped in candlelight
Her story carved in every scar
But they’re the reason there's still a heart
Outro
In a glass house that never shined
She found gold in tiny eyes
