Verse 1
You carved your truth into my skin
Every sentence cut deeper within
You spoke like fire, cold and precise
Turned every doubt into a vice
I tried to believe I was strong enough
But every word made it harder to trust
Pre-Chorus
I carried the weight of your disdain
Let it echo inside my brain
But I’m done letting your venom decide
Who I am on the inside
Chorus
YOUR WORDS WERE WEAPONS, LOADED AND AIMED
SHOT THROUGH MY CHEST, LEFT ME IN PAIN
I FELL TO MY KNEES, I LOST CONTROL
BUT I OVERCAME—I DIDN’T FOLD
I’M STILL STANDING, STILL ALIVE
YOU DON’T OWN ME—I SURVIVED
Verse 2
I walked alone through broken ground
Every failure screaming loud
You fed me fear, you fed me doubt
Said I’d never find my way out
But scars don’t mean I’m weak inside
They prove I lived, they prove I tried
Pre-Chorus
I see the cracks where the light gets in
I hear my strength under the din
You tried to bury what you couldn’t break
But I’m wide awake
Chorus
YOUR WORDS WERE WEAPONS, SHARP AND COLD
BUT I OVERCAME WHAT YOU SOLD
I FELL APART, I LOST MY WAY
BUT I ROSE AGAIN—I’M HERE TO STAY
I’M STILL STANDING, STILL ALIVE
YOU DON’T OWN ME—I SURVIVED
Bridge (Clean, Creed-style lift)
I lift my eyes beyond the fear
I feel the truth, I feel it clear
I won’t be silent, I won’t bow
This is my moment—this is now
Bridge 2 (Build → Heavy)
I’ve been broken
I’ve been lost
Paid the price
Counted the cost
Breakdown (Seether edge)
YOU TRIED TO BREAK ME
YOU TRIED TO ERASE ME
BUT I’M STILL HERE
AND I’M NOT FADING
Final Chorus
YOUR WORDS WERE WEAPONS, BUT I HEALED
I OVERCAME THE WAY YOU MADE ME FEEL
I BLED, I BROKE, BUT I’M NOT ASHAMED
I ROSE ABOVE—I OVERCAME
I’M STILL STANDING, STILL ALIVE
THIS UNBROKEN VOICE IS MINE
Outro
Say what you want
I’m unbroken now.
