Title: “The Fruit of the Hurt”
[Intro – Spoken / Lo-fi Beat]
It doesn’t leave bruises
But it breaks you just the same
Emotional abuse —
It’s not just pain, it’s a chain
[Verse 1]
Yelling, name-calling, cutting deep
Insults that don’t let me sleep
Gaslighting till I doubt my mind
Privacy gone, love redefined
Control disguised as care
Isolation everywhere
Threats that hide in holy tones
Now I feel so far from home
[Pre-Chorus]
It starts with words, ends with scars
You don’t see them, but they’re ours
Short-term pain, long-term fight
Living in the dark, avoiding light
[Chorus]
These are the fruits of the hurt
Low self-esteem, feeling cursed
Anxiety, depression too
Trust issues that follow you
Emotional swings, isolation
Body pain, no explanation
Can’t connect, can’t commit
Love feels like a counterfeit
[Verse 2]
I’m moody, tense, I can’t relax
Nightmares come, I can’t go back
My heart races, my soul aches
I smile wide, but it’s all fake
I withdraw, I disappear
Don’t want to burden anyone near
I hop from one to another
But never trust like I used to, brother
[Bridge – Spoken Word / Melodic Layer]
Emotional abuse isn’t just a phase
It rewires how you live, how you pray
It makes you question every good thing
Even when healing tries to begin
[Final Chorus]
These are the fruits of the hurt
Low self-esteem, feeling cursed
Anxiety, depression too
Trust issues that follow you
Emotional swings, isolation
Body pain, no explanation
Can’t connect, can’t commit
Love feels like a counterfeit
[Outro – Soft Fade]
But you’re not alone
You’re not to blame
You deserve healing
You deserve change
