[Verse 1]
Walking through shadows, feeling so cold
Tired of whispers that cut to the soul
Mirror reflecting all the tears I've cried
Lost in a battle where I can't hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Been fighting a ghost, stuck in these chains
Silent screams echoing through the pain
She favors a lie, she plays her own game
Now I'm breaking free, calling out my name
[Chorus]
No more second best, I gotta find my way
Cut through the darkness, I won’t betray
The love that I’ve lost and the hurt I’ve seen
Standing tall, I reclaim my dreams
[Verse 2]
She whispers her voice, but it's hollow and cold
Treats me like dirt, like I don’t belong
The love she withholds, a poison so deep
I carry it burdensome, too heavy to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m done with the lies, done with the pain
No more gaslighting, no more shame
I’ll break these chains, I’ll take control
Find my own path, liberate my soul
[Chorus]
No more second best, I gotta find my way
Cut through the darkness, I won’t betray
The love that I’ve lost and the hurt I’ve seen
Standing tall, I reclaim my dreams
[Bridge]
Will she see me? Will she care?
Or will her love always be unfair?
But I’m tired of waiting, tired of the fight
I choose my peace, I choose my light
[Outro]
This is my voice, this is my stand
Breaking the silence, taking command
No longer hiding in her shadow’s reign
I am enough, I breathe again
Do you see me now, mother?!?!?
