Shadows

(Verse 1)

In the quiet of the night, when the world feels so cold,

I hear echoes of a story that’s never been told.

Behind closed doors, where love should have grown,

There’s a darkness that lingers, a heart made of stone.

(Pre-Chorus)

Whispers in the shadows, they haunt my dreams,

A mother’s love twisted, unraveling at the seams.

With every harsh word, every tear that I cried,

I learned to wear my scars like a badge, deep inside.

(Chorus)

Mom, why’d you have to break me?

Why’d you turn your love to pain?

In the silence, I’m still screaming,

Caught in this never-ending rain.

I’m just a child looking for a light,

But you taught me how to hide from the fight.

I’m never enough, never enough for you,

In this house of shadows, where love never grew.

(Verse 2)

You wore your anger like a crown on your head,

Each bruise, each mark, a story left unsaid.

I wanted to be perfect, to make you proud,

But the louder I tried, the more you’d shout.

(Pre-Chorus)

In the mirror, I see a reflection of fear,

A heart that’s been shattered, a soul that’s unclear.

With every harsh lesson, I learned to retreat,

In a battle for love, I felt the defeat.

(Chorus)

Mom, why’d you have to break me?

Why’d you turn your love to pain?

In the silence, I’m still screaming,

Caught in this never-ending rain.

I’m just a child looking for a light,

But you taught me how to hide from the fight.

I’m never enough, never enough for you,

In this house of shadows, where love never grew.

(Bridge)

But I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll find my own way,

I’ll break these chains of hurt, I’ll learn to be brave.

No more living in shadows, no more wearing your pain,

I’ll rewrite my story, I’ll dance in the rain.

(Chorus)

Mom, you tried to break me,

But I’m stronger than your pain.

In the silence, I’m still dreaming,

I’ll find my way through the rain.

I’m just a child looking for a light,

And now I’ll learn to stand and fight.

I’m enough, oh, I’m enough for me,

In this journey of healing, I’ll finally be free.

(Outro)

So here’s to the future, where I’ll learn to forgive,

To find the love within me, to truly live.

Though shadows may linger, I’ll chase them away,

I’m enough, I’m enough, and I’ll be okay.
