Verse 1
I told you who to be, I made you small
Watched you crumble just to feel tall
Every tear you cried was my control
I called it love, but I owned your soul
You gave me light, I gave you pain
Fed on your trust like it was rain
You begged for peace, I gave you doubt
You tried to leave, I shut you out
Pre-Chorus
You thought you were weak, but I made you that way
And I slept sound while you prayed for day
Chorus
Seven years, I held your mind
Played the hero while I crossed the line
I said “it’s love” – you called it pain
But I kept you dancing in my chain
I broke your wings, to keep you near
Silenced your voice so I wouldn’t hear
Seven years – my sweet disguise
The truth I hid behind my lies
Verse 2
I said you’d fall if I let go
I built your world, then stole the glow
You looked for warmth inside my storm
And I convinced you that was norm
You screamed in silence, I wore a smile
My guilt was gone for a little while
Every time you tried to see
I blurred the line between you and me
Pre-Chorus
I told myself I was saving you
But I just feared what you might do
Chorus
Seven years, I held your mind
Played the hero while I crossed the line
I said “it’s love” – you called it pain
But I kept you dancing in my chain
I broke your wings, to keep you near
Silenced your voice so I wouldn’t hear
Seven years – my sweet disguise
The truth I hid behind my lies
Bridge
Now the mirror cracks, I see your eyes
The fire’s gone, but I feel your cries
No redemption for what I’ve done
You walked away — and I’m undone
Final Chorus
Seven years, I stole your fight
Fed my darkness on your light
Called it love, but it was fear
Now your silence is all I hear
Seven years – my cruel reign
Now I drown inside the pain
Seven years – and you survived
While I’m the one who dies inside
Outro
You’re free at last — and I remain
Seven years carved in my name
Evourin
