Verse 1
That day I watched her disappear
The girl I used to know
The one who begged to be chosen
The one who was too scared to let go
She swallowed every word she wanted to say
Just to keep the peace alive
She gave away pieces of herself
Just to make somebody stay behind
She waited for someone to save her
She waited for someone to fight
But nobody came running
So she learned to survive
Pre-Chorus
I hated that she was so afraid
I hated that she felt so small
But I can’t keep blaming her
For trying to survive it all
Chorus
That day I let a weak girl die
The one who couldn’t stand her ground
The one who needed someone else
Just to keep her from falling down
I buried every piece of her
That begged the world to understand
And from the pain that tried to break me
I built these stronger hands
Betrayal was the fire
That burned away my fear
The girl I was is gone now
But the woman she became is here
Verse 2
I know the pain still knows my name
I know the scars still speak
But I refuse to let the memories
Decide who I will be
They thought they took my power
When they tore my world apart
But they only showed me where I was weak
So I could rebuild my heart
I don’t need revenge
I don’t need them to regret
The greatest punishment they’ll ever know
Is seeing who I became
Pre-Chorus
I was a shadow in a room
Waiting for permission to exist
Now I walk through every storm
Knowing I can handle it
Chorus
That day I let a weak girl die
The one who couldn’t stand her ground
The one who let the world convince her
She was better staying down
I buried every piece of her
But I won’t forget her pain
Because the girl I left behind
Is the reason I became this way
Betrayal was the fire
That burned through every lie
It didn’t end me like they wanted
It taught me how to rise
Bridge
I’m not who I was before
And maybe that’s okay
Some versions of ourselves
Are only meant to fade away
She was soft, she was scared
She was trying to survive
I won’t hate the girl I was
For keeping me alive
Final Chorus
That day I let a weak girl die
But something stronger took her place
A heart that knows its value now
A soul that won’t be erased
The pain that tried to own me
Only gave me something new
I lost the girl who couldn’t fight
And found the one who could
So let them remember who I was
Let them think they won that night
Because they didn’t destroy me
They created this fight
Outro
The old me is gone
But she didn’t disappear for nothing
She gave me everything she had
So I could become something.
Rin
