Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I learned early how to be gentle When the world was never kind I swallowed bruises, swallowed fear So no one saw me cry They called me sweet, they called me soft Like that meant I couldn’t feel But softness was how I survived Not proof I wasn’t real Pre-Chorus I held everyone else together While I bled in plain sight Chorus This is me showing my side of the pain The anger I buried to keep the peace Every bruise I learned to rename Every scream I never released I was abused, I was neglected I was betrayed by the ones I trusted most I stayed kind anyway But don’t mistake that for weak No Don’t mistake me for weak Verse 2 I kept forgiving like a habit Like love meant letting it hurt I let them cross every line Just to prove I wasn’t the worst They took my loyalty for granted Took my heart like it was cheap But you don’t drain someone dry And expect them not to wake up deep Pre-Chorus I was quiet because I was surviving Not because I didn’t know Chorus This is me ripping the veil away Letting you see what I became From hands that hurt, from love that failed From promises spoken then betrayed I stayed the sweetest, kindest soul Even when it cost me everything But once I break Once I finally break You should be afraid of me Bridge Not because I’ll hurt you But because I won’t let you anymore I won’t beg, I won’t bend I won’t bleed just to be adored My kindness had limits You just never believed they were real And now I’m done explaining Why I feel what I feel Break (low, steady) I didn’t turn cold I turned aware Final Chorus I survived abuse, neglect, betrayal Still chose love when I could’ve turned mean But survival taught me something sacred About the power in being seen I am gentle by nature But forged in fire and truth And once I stop protecting everyone else I will finally protect me Outro So remember this When my silence ends I was always kind You just pushed me Until I couldn’t pretend
