[Verse]
They left me in the shadows cold and bare
Their voices echo but they're never there
I reached for hands that turned away
A girl alone who learned to pray
[Verse 2]
Their silence cut deeper than any blade
I built my walls where love decayed
I thought I was the one to blame
But now I see their loss
Their shame
[Chorus]
I'm better now without their chains
Their absence taught me to love my pain
I found my worth in the scars they gave
I’m standing strong no one to save
[Verse 3]
I used to beg for scraps of care
A hollow heart left gasping air
But in the void I found my fire
Lit by dreams not their desire
[Bridge]
They broke me down to watch me fall
But I built a castle from it all
Each stone a tear each brick a scream
Now I’m living my own dream
[Chorus]
I'm better now without their chains
Their absence taught me to love my pain
I found my worth in the scars they gave
I’m standing strong no one to save
I'm better now without their chains
Their absence taught me to love my pain
I found my worth in the scars they gave
I’m standing strong no one to save
