🎵 “The Life They Never Gave Me”

(by Debz — for every stolen day)

Didn’t even know her face when she came

Said “I’m your mother,” but it didn’t feel the same

She was carrying another life inside

While I stood there, empty, pushed aside mm-mm

Distant eyes, hands that never stayed

Then came my sister — and I was made

A child keeping another child alive

No one asked if I’d survive

ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhhhhh

I’ve never really had a life of my own

Passed around like a thing, not grown

Loved when needed, then left in pain

Held responsible, but never held again

Beaten down, blamed for nothing at all

Locked away with a bed and four walls

I was just a girl, trying to be free

In a world that never showed love to me

Between mum and dad, tossed like a flame

Neither one wanted to take the blame

Told I was trouble, told I was wrong

But they made me this way all along mm-mm

No toys, no comfort, no open door

Just a bucket, a bed, and a cold floor

Months of silence, screaming in my mind

Wishing someone, anyone, would be kind

I’ve never really had a life of my own

Passed around like a thing, not grown

Loved when needed, then left in pain

Held responsible, but never held again

Beaten down, blamed for nothing at all

Locked away with a bed and four walls

I was just a girl, trying to be free

In a world that never showed love to me

But I’m still standing — scarred, not erased

Still got fire they couldn’t replace

They tried to bury me in shame

But I survived — and I remember their names

ohhh ohhh ohhhhhhh

I never really had a life — but I’m here

Still breathing, still wiping my tears

They broke me young, but not complete

I’m still walking on my own two feet

I was just a girl, unheard, unseen

Now I sing for the child I’ve been

They never gave me love or light…

But I became my own flame in the night
