Shadow Inheritance

Verse 1

I never learned to hold a gaze

Been hiding since my younger days

Built a wall around the part of me

That never felt quite safe to see

Thought if you looked too long you’d find

The broken thing I left behind

So I keep moving, keep it buried deep

A secret I was sworn to keep

Pre-Chorus

But I’m starting to see it clear

This weight was never mine to bear

Something handed down through tears

From a child who learned to disappear

Chorus

This broken heart

Wasn’t mine from the start

Been letting it tear me apart

But a broken heart

Isn’t a broken part

It’s just a broken heart

Just a broken heart

Verse 2

I’ve justified the things I’ve done

Told myself that I had won

Called it balance, called it fair

Taking back what wasn’t there

And the ones I judged the most

Were just the parts I hated close

Every finger that I’ve pointed out

Was just my own reflection talking loud

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Outro

I’m better than I was yesterday

I’m finding my way back home to you

The light looks different here today

I think I’m finally coming through

I may have lost myself along the way

But I know what I’m walking toward now

I’m coming home to you
