[Intro]
Shadows in my mind, echoing the past
Broken vows and silent nights, how long will this last?
[Verse 1]
You painted love in hues of fear, a canvas torn and bruised
Every word a dagger, every touch a ruse
I was lost in a maze you spun, wrapped in your lies
Doubting my reflection, questioning my own eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’ve begun to see the cracks, the poison in your kiss
Breaking free from this nightmare, I must dismiss
Berated, controlled, yet I rise from this dark
Starting to reclaim my heart, rekindling my spark
[Chorus]
This is my escape, from the chains you made
From the shadows of the love that slowly fade
Gonna find my peace, shed the tears, breathe easy
Walking out this door, finally free
[Bridge]
You made me doubt myself, you made me feel small
But I won't be your shadow, I’ll stand tall
Piece by piece, I rebuild my soul
Love may be out there, and I’ll find it whole
[Outro]
No more permission, no more fear
I’ll forge my path, make it clear
From the ruins, I will rise and soar
This is my story; I won’t be yours anymore
