Never The Same

*Intro*

There was a time…

Before the scars…

Before the betrayal…

Before the darkness took root in me…

That man is gone now.

*Verse I*

I watched my world collapse in silence

While the people I trusted turned away

Every wound carved deeper into me

Until nothing innocent remained

I used to believe in something pure

In loyalty… in love… in truth

Now every memory tastes like ash

And every mirror shows the proof

The fire changed the steel forever

The storm reshaped the sea

Pain became the architect

Of what’s left of me

*Pre-Chorus*

You can’t walk through hel unchanged

You can’t survive the fall untouched

*Chorus*

I will never be the same again

Too many scars beneath my skin

Too much blood, too much betrayal

Too many wars I’ve lived within

The person that I used to be

Was buried in the flames

Now I stand among the ruins—

And I will never be the same

*Verse II*

I hear echoes of my former self

Like ghosts inside my head

Reminding me of brighter days

Before everything went dead

Now I move through life like thunder

Cold eyes and a guarded soul

Because once your heart gets shattered

You never come back whole

But weakness died inside me

When the world showed me its teeth

And now there’s something darker

Breathing underneath

*Breakdown*

THIS PAIN REMADE ME!

Every lie—

Every scar—

Every night I bled alone!

I became the thing I feared

Just to survive the cold!

NO TURNING BACK!

NO SAVING FACE!

THE OLD ME IS ERASED!

*Chorus*

I will never be the same again

Too many scars beneath my skin

Too much blood, too much betrayal

Too many wars I’ve lived within

The person that I used to be

Was buried in the flames

Now I stand among the ruins—

And I will never be the same

*Bridge*

Maybe healing doesn’t mean returning

Maybe strength is learning how to stand

With broken bones and burned-out wings

Still fighting through the wasteland

I may never find the man I was

But I refuse to disappear

Because even shattered souls can rise

And face another year

*Final Chorus*

I will never be the same again

But I’m still breathing through the pain

Still standing through the chaos

Still surviving through the rain

The fire took my innocence

But it could not take my name

So I’ll wear these scars like armor—

And never be ashamed

*Outro*

Never the same…

But still alive…

Still fighting…

Still standing in the fire…
