[Verse 1]
I wake up drowning in my skin,
A war inside I’ll never win,
The weight of whispers drags me down,
Like I don’t deserve to be around.
Every step feels like a fight,
Every mirror twists the light,
I fake a smile, I play along,
But inside, I’m barely holding on.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "You’re fine, it’s in your head,"
But they don’t hear the things it says,
A voice that feeds on all my doubt,
Tells me I'm better off without.
[Chorus]
Then you came and touched my hand,
Like I was something worth a chance,
You saw the wreck, the war, the shame,
And didn’t turn, you never blamed.
You took the fear, you took the weight,
Stood beside me in the rain,
Burned away the chains I wore,
And suddenly… I’m caged no more.
[Verse 2]
I used to flinch when love came close,
Afraid it fades like all the ghosts,
But you stayed through every storm,
Through the nights my soul was torn.
You traced the cracks, the lines, the scars,
Didn’t ask me who they are,
Didn’t try to fix, to change,
Just held me close and loved the pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Just smile, it’s not that bad,"
But they don’t know the nights I’ve had,
The fights I lost inside my head,
The days I wished I’d just forget.
[Chorus]
Then you came and touched my hand,
Like I was something worth a chance,
You saw the wreck, the war, the shame,
And didn’t turn, you never blamed.
You took the fear, you took the weight,
Stood beside me in the rain,
Burned away the chains I wore,
And suddenly… I’m caged no more.
[Bridge]
Now the voices fade away,
The darkness learns to be afraid,
Of love that’s stronger than the pain,
Of hands that taught my heart to stay.
[Final Chorus – Powerful & Free]
‘Cause you came and touched my hand,
Like I was something worth a chance,
You saw the wreck, the war, the shame,
And didn’t turn, you never blamed.
No more fear, no more weight,
Only love where ghosts once reigned,
Burned away the chains I wore,
And suddenly… I’m caged no more.
[Outro]
I'm caged no more…
I can breathe.
I’m free.
