Intro – whispered / soft] Sometimes the loudest battles are the ones nobody hears… The ones behind the eyes. ⸻ [Verse 1] Little girl with a storm in her chest World on her shoulders, smile on her vest They said “be strong,” so she never cried Built her walls high, locked pain inside Every memory knocking like thunder at night Every scar whispering “you could bite” Anger tasted sweet on the tip of her tongue But she swallowed the fire — she was still so young She learned how to breathe when the room felt small Learned how to stand when she wanted to fall People only saw a quiet child’s face Never saw the wars she survived in place ⸻ [Hook / Chorus] I’m standing on a line I can’t see Dark on one side, light calling me I hear a voice saying “stay with me” When the shadows say “break free” I could shatter, I could scream I could turn into everything they made me believe But something gentle keeps holding my sleeve Saying “don’t let the hurt decide who you’ll be.” ⸻ [Verse 2] She felt rage like a blade in her ribs Every betrayal carved deep in the grids Sometimes revenge looked easy and warm Like stepping inside a familiar storm But then a whisper softer than air Said “you’re not the pain you wear” Not thunder, not fire, not chains, not scars You’re more than the darkness that named your stars She’d close her eyes, hands in her lap Begging the night not to make her snap Fighting demons that looked like her past Praying the good in her heart would last ⸻ [Bridge – slower / spiritual tone] A quiet light in a crowded head A gentle “child, you’re not misled” Not screaming, not forcing, just simply near A warmth saying “I’m here… I’m here.” ⸻ [Verse 3 – rising strength] She didn’t win by becoming stone She won by choosing not to be alone Not alone in faith, not alone in breath Choosing healing instead of death Every day she stepped back from the edge Not perfect, just making a silent pledge “I won’t be what they tried to make I am more than the hurt I take.” ⸻ [Final Hook / Outro] I’m standing on a line I now see Dark still calls, but light carries me The voice that said “stay” set me free Not from pain — but from letting it be me I bend, I bruise, but I don’t break I’m not the darkness I could’ve made I am the child who chose to stay And that choice… saved me.

Don’t let it break me
