(Verse 1)
I was just a child, too young to understand,
Tryna hold the world with some trembling hands.
Had monsters in the house, never hid beneath the bed,
They were walkin’ through the hallways messin’ with my head.
Every night I stayed awake, fear inside my chest,
Prayin’ for the sunrise, hopin’ maybe I could rest.
Kept the pain locked down, buried deep inside,
Learned how to fake a smile while I slowly died.
(Verse 2)
My innocence was stolen, yeah, it vanished in the dark,
Left a thousand ugly scars and a permanent mark.
Trusted family names, but they broke that trust apart,
Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces of a shattered little heart.
People wonder why I’m distant, why I don’t let ‘em near,
‘Cause the ones who should’ve loved me became the ones I feared.
Every memory’s a shadow that follows where I go,
And the pain still whispers things I wish I’d never know.
(Verse 3)
This world’s been cold as hell, kicked me while I’m down,
Every time I find my feet, it spins me back around.
I been searchin’ for some peace, but the silence never stays,
Got a storm inside my soul and it rains for days.
Sometimes I feel invisible, lost inside the crowd,
Screamin’ in my mind while I never say it loud.
Carryin’ the weight of things no child should ever see,
Still fightin’ every day with what was done to me.
(Verse 4)
Love don’t come easy when your trust got torn apart,
When fear built a prison and locked up your heart.
I keep askin’ why it happened, never get a reply,
Just another sleepless night and another reason to cry.
But I’m still standin’ here, even when I feel weak,
Even when the tears are the only words I speak.
The past tried to break me, tried to bury my name,
But I’m more than what he did, more than all of that pain.
(Half Verse / Outro)
I’m alone with these memories, but they don’t own my soul,
Though they took so much from me, they never took it whole.
Yeah, the world brought me down, left me scarred and afraid,
But every breath I take proves I survived what it made.
And even in the darkness where the hurt still remains,
There’s a part of me still fightin’ through the pain.
