[Intro]
Silent tears in the dark, shadows that I can't explain
Every night, I pray for escape and a little bit of rain
[Verse 1]
Grew up in a house where love was just a word tossed around
Grandpa's fists like thunder crashing down, I felt so small, so worn
Parents lost in their own storms, didn’t see the hurt I hide
Just a child trapped in the storm, wishing I could run and hide
[Pre-Chorus]
I was hurting, crying out, but no one heard my silent scream
Caught in a nightmare, no escape, lost inside a broken dream
[Chorus]
I needed a way out, a voice that could be heard
A place to find my peace, beyond the pain and hurt
Growing up with shadows blocking out the sun
I found my strength to run, I had to run away from everyone
[Verse 2]
Barely holding onto hope, trying to find my own light
Memories that cut so deep, haunted me through every night
Feeling trapped inside a cage, longing just to breathe free
Hurt that ran too deep, I needed somewhere I could be me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was hurting, crying out, but no one heard my silent scream
Caught in a nightmare, no escape, lost inside a broken dream
[Chorus]
I needed a way out, a voice that could be heard
A place to find my peace, beyond the pain and hurt
Growing up with shadows blocking out the sun
I found my strength to run, I had to run away from everyone
[Bridge]
Now I’m finding my path, step by step, I’m standing tall
Breaking free from the past, I’m rebuilding, I’m not gonna fall
The pain was real, but I survive, I’ve learned to forgive
A better day is coming, I’ve got more than just to live
[Outro]
Silent tears have turned to strength, shadows fade away
I’ve grown into my own, I’ve found my brighter day
No more hiding in the dark, I’m finally free
This is my story, this is how I reclaim me
