[Verse 1]
I keep blaming myself for the things I couldn’t change,
Every scar’s a story I keep etched in my brain.
Replaying the moments, the words that I said,
Living with echoes that don’t leave my head.
I built my walls out of silence and shame,
A war with my heart I can’t even name.
Healing don’t come from holding on tight,
Sometimes peace means losing the fight.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been trying to rewrite what’s gone,
But the ink keeps bleeding on.
Maybe forgiveness isn’t found in control,
Maybe I need to let go.
[Chorus]
So I’m laying my armor down tonight,
No more battles with what’s left behind.
Every tear was a lesson in disguise,
I can’t love if I don’t stop the fight.
Oh, I’m tired of surviving my life—
It’s time to surrender the fight.
[Verse 2]
I keep tracing the cracks where the light should come in,
But I’m scared of the beauty beneath my own skin.
I talk to my fears like they’re old friends,
They warn me of hurt that already ends.
I’ve carried my guilt like a loaded gun,
Pointed at me since I was young.
But maybe I’m not broken, just tried,
Maybe this time I don’t have to hide.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been trying to rewrite what’s gone,
But the ink keeps bleeding on.
Maybe forgiveness isn’t found in control,
Maybe I need to let go.
[Chorus]
So I’m laying my armor down tonight,
No more battles with what’s left behind.
Every tear was a lesson in disguise,
I can’t love if I don’t stop the fight.
Oh, I’m tired of surviving my life—
It’s time to surrender the fight.
[Bridge]
Maybe strength is softer than I thought,
Not every loss means I’m lost.
I’m learning to breathe without the blame,
To heal without the need for pain.
[Final Chorus]
So I’m laying my armor down tonight,
No more battles with what’s left behind.
Every tear was a lesson in disguise,
I can’t love if I don’t stop the fight.
I’m done surviving my own mind—
It’s time to surrender the fight.
[Outro]
I keep blaming myself for what I couldn’t change,
But tonight I’m done reliving the pain.
