“The Room They Left Me In”
Verse 1:
I was born into a storm they never named
Fed from love, then ripped away
Too small to fight, too young to run
Didn’t even know what they'd done
Mama came back with someone new
Her belly full, her eyes confused
I searched her face, but I was lost
Just a shadow she forgot
Pre-Chorus:
And I became a mother far too soon
To a sister I held like a wound
While they threw fists instead of grace
Locked me in my quiet place
Chorus:
In a room with just a bed and a bucket
No light, no voice, no way to run from it
I grew up behind a wooden door
Where love don't live here anymore
But I survived — don’t know how I did
In the room they left me in
Verse 2:
Years gone by, but pain don’t fade
It moves in deep, it learns your name
They taught me silence, taught me shame
Taught me I should take the blame
I gave my life to everyone
Carried burdens that weighed a ton
But no one saw the little girl
Still crying inside this broken world
Pre-Chorus:
And I was screaming without sound
But no one ever looked around
No fairy tales, no guiding star
Just wounds that never stayed too far
Chorus:
In a room with just a bed and a bucket
No light, no voice, no way to run from it
I grew up behind a wooden door
Where love don't live here anymore
But I survived — don’t know how I did
In the room they left me in
Bridge:
I’m not the same, but I still stand
With trembling voice and weathered hands
I ain’t healed, but I still try
To find my name beyond the cry
Final Chorus:
In a room with just a bed and a bucket
They tried to break me, thought they’d done it
But there’s fire left behind these eyes
A soul that never truly dies
I’m more than where my pain has been
Even in the room they left me in
Outro:
I’m still here
I’m still breathing
And that’s enough —
That’s worth believing
