(Verse 1)
Voices sharp as broken glass
Down the hall, behind the class
Every step feels like a fight
Every day feels like a long cold night
They knock you down, they laugh so loud
Try to drown your quiet voice out
Whisper words that cut so deep
Make you feel you don't belong here at all
(Pre-Chorus)
You hide your tears behind a smile
Say you're fine, just for a while
But your chest feels heavy, your hands shake bad
Wondering when it all went so mad
(Chorus)
It's not your fault, don't you believe their lies
You're worth so much more than their cruel goodbyes
They yell and push just to feel in control
But they don't know the weight on your soul
Bruises fade, but words stick around
But you don't have to stand alone on this ground
You're stronger than the hurt they try to sow
You're not the monster they want you to know
(Verse 2)
They point their fingers, spread their lies
Try to break you down to size
Make you feel small, make you feel weak
Like you've got nowhere left to seek
You walk the long way round to school
Hide in the corner, try to be cool
But your heart beats fast, you hold your breath
Waiting for the next cruel step
(Pre-Chorus)
You think if you're quiet they'll let you be
But cruelty feeds on fear, you see
Don't keep it locked inside your head
Reach out your hand, don't be afraid
(Chorus)
It's not your fault, don't you believe their lies
You're worth so much more than their cruel goodbyes
They yell and push just to feel in control
But they don't know the weight on your soul
Bruises fade, but words stick around
But you don't have to stand alone on this ground
You're stronger than the hurt they try to sow
You're not the monster they want you to know
(Bridge)
Sometimes the ones who hurt the most
Are just scared ghosts, hurting from their own coast
They don't know how to be kind, how to be true
But that doesn't mean it's up to you
To carry all their pain and shame
You get to write your own name
Speak up loud, let the truth unfold
You are brave, and you are gold
(Outro)
No more hiding, no more fear
Help is always very near
It's not your fault, you'll always know
You're not alone, wherever you go
