[Intro]
Three years in… still calling it love.
(still believing… still surviving…)
[Verse 1]
I learned the sound of his steps,
Learned when to stay quiet, when to look away.
Every lie, every hidden bruise,
Built a cage I didn’t even see.
(normal… normal…)
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself it’s safe here,
But safety doesn’t feel like this.
Fear wears a quiet face,
And I endure what I can’t admit.
[Chorus]
I’m living in his shadow, under his roof,
Every rule a chain, every word a proof.
I bend to survive, I shrink to stay,
Love shouldn’t feel like this — but I endure anyway.
(endure… endure…)
[Verse 2]
He smiles for the world, shows charm and grace,
But behind closed doors, I’m just a space.
I’ve given up my voice, my past, my truth,
Locked in a prison I built by youth.
(glass… invisible…)
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame myself for wanting too much,
For hoping for a life I can’t touch.
Love shouldn’t cut me this deep,
But I endure — I can’t let it see me break.
[Chorus]
I’m living in his shadow, under his grip,
Every promise rehearsed, every touch a whip.
I bend to survive, I hide what I feel,
Love shouldn’t hurt like this — but I endure what’s real.
(endure… endure…)
[Bridge]
The bars are unseen, the chains are tight,
Every day a battle, every night a fight.
But I whisper to myself, still clinging to a spark,
Even in the shadows, I am not fully dark.
[Chorus]
I’m living under his roof, but cracks appear,
The lies, the rules — I start to see clear.
I shrink, I bend, I endure every day,
But one spark of truth might show me the way.
(endure… survive…)
[Outro]
Three years in… and I still survive.
Love shouldn’t feel like a cage…
But I endure.
Beexii
