Stolen Silence

Verse 1

I sat by the window, waiting for a sign,

Checking the mailbox, night after night.

Thought I was forgotten, thought they walked away,

But it was your shadow stealing every day.

Pre-Chorus

Every call that never came through,

Every word I thought I’d lost too…

It wasn’t them, it was always you.

Chorus

You stole their voices, you stole my choice,

Built your cage by drowning the noise.

Letters burned, numbers blocked,

You turned my world into a locked box.

But the silence you gave is breaking me free,

’Cause the truth was never them—

The monster was you, not me.

Verse 2

I cried on birthdays, candles burned low,

Wondered why love had nowhere to go.

All those nights thinking I wasn’t enough,

Turns out it was you, and your twisted “love.”

Pre-Chorus

Every lie you dressed up in care,

Every chain you wrapped in despair…

Now I see you everywhere.

Chorus

You stole their voices, you stole my choice,

Built your cage by drowning the noise.

Letters burned, numbers blocked,

You turned my world into a locked box.

But the silence you gave is breaking me free,

’Cause the truth was never them—

The monster was you, not me.

Bridge

I carried the blame, I wore the chains,

Believed your lies, lived in your games.

But silence cracks, and I can breathe,

You’ll never take the rest of me.

Final Chorus

You stole their voices, you stole my choice,

But you can’t erase my heart, my voice.

The fire you lit can’t silence me,

I’m stronger than your misery.

The silence you gave is breaking me free,

The truth is mine—

The monster was you, not me.
