[Intro]
This is my story now, the shadows I can't erase
Facing all the pain, no one can take my place
[Verse 1]
Started at five, tossed in foster care
Three siblings lost in a world unfair
Found a family, but love was thin air
Secrets buried deep, too much to bear
[Pre-Chorus]
Years went by, scars didn’t fade
Broken trust, the price I paid
Fighting shadows, I gotta stay brave
Trying to heal, trying to behave
[Chorus]
How do I forgive the men who've hurt me?
How do I let go of the pain that they see?
Walking through the darkness, searching for peace
This is my story, and I refuse to cease
[Verse 2]
Adopted at eight, a new family stance
But the darkness followed, took its chance
A brother’s betrayal, a second wound
Seven years silent, trapped in the gloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling hate and shame, a storm inside
Lost my body, couldn’t run or hide
School was a struggle, the world was cold
Joined the army, trying to be bold
[Chorus]
How do I forgive the men who've hurt me?
How do I let go of the pain that they see?
Walking through the darkness, searching for peace
This is my story, and I refuse to cease
[Bridge]
Now it’s all changing, the cycle breaks
But the echo of betrayal, it still aches
I stand tall, with scars that tell the tale
Finding strength, when I think I’ll fail
[Outro]
This is my story now, fragile but free
Learning to love the person I see
Step by step, healing the pain
This is my story, I'll rise again
[Powerful closing lines]
With every scar, I find my voice
Reclaim my soul, make the choice
To forgive the past, but never forget
This is my story—my lifetime.
