[Intro]
In shadows cast by promises made,
Light flickers dim, memories invade.
Fourteen years in the dance of despair,
A love that felt like a breath of fresh air.
[Verse 1]
You walked in like a summer breeze,
Whispers of dreams that put me at ease.
I thought we’d forged a bond that was real,
But darkness crept in, hard to conceal.
Late nights turned to tangled lies,
Found you smiling beneath other skies.
Caught you looking for love in strange places,
While I waited here, counting the spaces.
[Pre-Chorus]
Each time I forgave, I thought we’d renew,
But the scars you left, they cut right through.
Building a life with illusions so grand,
Now I’m left holding the shattered remains in my hand.
[Chorus]
Oh, this trauma bond, a weight on my soul,
You were my refuge, now out of control.
Fighting the shadows, they never can part,
You stole my trust, but you can’t steal my heart.
[Bridge]
Two lives you lived, in a world of your making,
While I clung to the love, now it’s painfully breaking.
Each woman a whisper, a mirror of pain,
Thought I was your sunshine, but you left me in rain.
[Verse 2]
Retreat to the edges of what we became,
Replaying those moments that still feel the same.
I tried to stand strong, but I fell apart,
You wrapped your chains ‘round my trusting heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
I changed the locks, yet you found the key,
In a house of our dreams, I lost sight of me.
Your laughter rings hollow, it echoes in pain,
This trauma bond love, a beautiful chain.
[Chorus]
Oh, this trauma bond, a weight on my soul,
You were my refuge, now out of control.
Fighting the shadows, they never can part,
You stole my trust, but you can’t steal my heart.
[Outro]
Fourteen years lost, but I’m rising again,
No longer your prisoner, I’ll find my own pen.
With each broken piece, I’ll craft something true,
This trauma bond fades, I’m leaving you blue.
