See me or leave me

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
Shadows fall, but I rise
Free from your disguise
This is my fight, my new day
I’ve found my strength to walk away
