Broken Through the Ashes

I used to laugh off the hurt, let stupid words slip,

Friends tried stopping me in the ways they thought fit.

But now I can't help thinking, why didn’t I walk away?

Deserved better than those who kept me in dismay.

Now I’m seeing clearer, no more chains to weigh me down,

The ones I trusted most are nowhere to be found.

All the lies and hurt once clouded my mind,

But now I’m moving forward, leaving it all behind.

I’m standing tall, no longer feeling small,

Cutting ties with the past, I’m breaking through it all.

You thought you had control, but now I’m free,

No more pain, no more you, now it’s just me.

You showed your colors, but for that, I thank you still,

Cutting loose from you let me escape my self-built cell.

No one cared, but now I care, and that’s enough,

Taking back my life, no more living in the rough.

Now I’m seeing clearer, no more chains to weigh me down,

The ones I trusted most are nowhere to be found.

All the lies and hurt once clouded my mind,

But now I’m moving forward, leaving it all behind.

It’s funny how you thought you’d always have control,

But now the pieces fit, I’m reclaiming what you stole.

I built myself back up from where you left me torn,

Stronger than I was, now I know I’ve been reborn.

Ba da Ba da bapa Ba dada da dada,

You tore out my heart, but I’m stronger now,

No more hate, no more fear, I’m rising above,

I’m leaving you behind, I don’t need your love.

I’m flying high, no tears left to cry,

You’re just a fading shadow, left behind.

I broke through the pain, grew stronger without you,

Rising from the ashes, I’m finally breaking through.
