Intro (soft piano, slow violin)
She wakes up scared of her own shadow on the wall,
Only knows a life where love means she might fall.
Every step is danger, every sound a fight,
A woman in a cage, only fear inside her eyes.
All she learned was silence, all she learned was pain,
Every smile rehearsed, every tear restrained.
When violence is your normal, you forget what’s true,
You forget the girl you were before they broke you.
Verse 1 (Rap – low beat, piano underneath)
Yeah,
She walks on broken glass in her own hallway,
Heart on full alert, even in the broad day.
Flinches when the door slams, breath stuck in her chest,
Every word she says feels like another test.
They told her she was nothing, told her she was wrong,
So she carried all the blame for way too long.
Love was just a weapon, never something safe,
So she learned how to survive by hiding her face.
Pre-Chorus (Pop – melody rises, violin joins)
She’s tired of running from the war in her head,
Tired of praying every night in her bed.
She whispers to the dark, “Please make it stop…”
But hope feels too heavy when you’ve lost what you’ve got.
Chorus (Pop – emotional, wide)
She thought that death was the only way out,
The only door through the fear and doubt.
When pain was louder than her own name,
She believed the end would end the flame.
In a world that only taught her to break,
She thought disappearing was the only escape.
Verse 2 (Rap – stronger beat, strings pulse)
Yeah,
Bruises under fabric, stories under skin,
Every “I’m okay” is another silent sin.
She smiles for the mirror but it don’t smile back,
‘Cause the girl in her eyes is still under attack.
She learned how to freeze, learned how to obey,
Learned how to survive but not how to stay.
Every promise sounds like another trap,
Every “I love you” feels like a snap.
Pre-Chorus (Pop – softer, intimate)
She stands on the edge of her own goodbye,
Thinking nobody would hear her cry.
The night feels endless, the future feels small,
And she can’t see a life beyond these walls.
Chorus (Pop – bigger, drums enter)
She thought that death was the only way out,
The only answer to the silent shout.
When pain was louder than her own name,
She believed the end would end the flame.
She was drowning in a life she couldn’t save,
She thought the darkness was the only brave.
Bridge (Half-rap, half-sung – piano drops, solo violin)
But she survived that moment on the line,
That broken second, frozen in time.
The attempt to disappear didn’t make her gone,
It opened a door she never saw before that storm.
Not an ending… it became a sign,
A fragile start to a different life.
Hands reached out when she couldn’t stand,
And someone saw her, not just her pain.
Break (instrumental – epic piano & violin build)
Final Chorus (Pop – hopeful, lifted key)
The attempted end became the way she found,
A life where her real voice makes a sound.
It led her to someone gentle and true,
To a love that doesn’t bruise what she’s been through.
Now she’s learning how to just
