I grew up in the darkness, learned pain real early
Smiles fake, love left, yeah it hurt me
Heart full of cracks, soul feel broken
Too many nights where hope stayed unspoken
I been abandoned by trust and belief
By people who swore they’d never leave
Now I walk with the weight of what wasn’t fair
Talking to shadows like someone’s there
I learned silence louder than screams
Dreams died slow, ripped at the seams
Every promise rusted with time
Every “forever” crossed out my mind
I been lost in the darkness, scars on display
Broken by love that walked away
Abandoned faith, abandoned plans
Still standing here like, “damn”
Yeah the night knows my name
Pain runs deep in my veins
From the darkness, broken, abandoned
Still breathing through the damage
I trusted words that were hollow inside
Watched truth bend just to survive
They said “stay strong” like it’s easy to do
When every step forward pulls you back two
I wear regret like a second skin
Every mirror shows who I’ve been
Tried to heal, but the wounds stayed open
Every prayer felt unanswered, broken
I don’t chase love, it don’t chase me
All I got is what this pain gave me
Lessons learned in the worst ways
Counting losses, not the days
I been lost in the darkness, scars on display
Broken by love that walked away
Abandoned faith, abandoned plans
Still standing here like, “damn”
Yeah the night knows my name
Pain runs deep in my veins
From the darkness, broken, abandoned
Still breathing through the damage
I ain’t asking for saving
Just tired of faking
Strength when I’m barely holding on
If survival’s a skill
Then I paid the bill
Just to make it this far alone
I turned pain into bars, bars into truth
Every line’s just a piece of my youth
Grew cold where the love should’ve stayed
Learned fast how people change
Still I move with the weight on my chest
Heart heavy but I give it my best
They left me behind, yeah I understand
But I’m still here, scarred but I stand
I came from the darkness, cracked and strained
Broken by loss, baptized in pain
Abandoned dreams, abandoned trust
Still rising slow from the dust
Yeah the past tried to claim me
Pain still tries to chain me
From the darkness, broken, abandoned
Still breathing through the damage
