See me or leave me

Shadows fall, I stand alone

Breaking free from what you’ve known

Echoes of pain, now I see

This is where I set my heart free

You said forever and a day

But forever to you was just an escape

Crossed the line, you knew

In your lies, I lost my truth

Left me to cry and wonder why

You wanted me to forgive

As if my hurt was something to dismiss

You stepped out, left me behind

Deal with the scars I’ve now confined

I won’t carry your shame

Or the weight of your games

You painted me as to blame

But I know my name

I thought you loved me, cared for me

But I was just a piece of your legacy

Now I’m breaking free from the pain

No more lies, no more shame

Six long years, I endured your lies

Watched you treat her with brighter skies

While I was fading, losing my shine

All your love was just a line

You shut me down each time I tried

To speak the truth, to not hide

You swore I was to blame for it all

But I see now, I will not fall

I won’t carry your shame

Or the weight of your games

You painted me as to blame

But I know my name

I thought you loved me, cared for me

But I was just a piece of your legacy

Now I’m breaking free from the pain

No more puppets, no more shame

This is my stand, my let go

Learning to love, learning to grow

Your lies no longer hold me tight

I choose my own path, I choose my light

Shadows fall, but I rise

Free from your disguise

This is my fight, my new day

I’ve found my strength to walk away
