🎙️ INTRO (your soul speaking — calm, broken, honest)
It’s crazy…
how a heart can survive being abandoned at four months old,
survive running away at twelve,
survive a world meant to break it…
Then one person —
one person you finally trusted —
can bring your whole spirit to its knees
without ever raising their voice.
And the hardest part?
I’m still here.
I’m still loving.
I’m still trying.
Even though she’s never apologized…
even though pieces of me are still on the floor…
I’m trying to stand again.
God…
help me stand again.

🎵 HOOK (slow, emotional)
I was left behind before I ever learned to talk,
Four months old, she was gone—left me learning how to walk
In a world where love don’t stay,
A world where hearts don’t play fair.
So I built these walls while my heart froze up inside,
Only thing that I could trust… was that cold steel by my side.
Then you came along, girl, made me trust for the first time…
And you hurt me like the ones who walked away back in my life’s first rhyme.

🎤 VERSE 1 (storytelling)
Four months in the world, and love had already split,
Didn’t have a mama’s arms, didn’t get a chance to feel legit.
Grew up learning quick the world don’t carry little boys,
It makes men out of children and calls the breaking “noise.”
By twelve years old, I packed a bag and disappeared,
’Cause the house didn’t feel like safety—
it felt like pain I always feared.
So I trusted steel,
’cause metal never lied,
and I kept it loaded
like the fear that lived inside.
All my life I thought trust
was a trick or a death wish…
’cause every time I’d reached for love
it vanished in the darkness.

I was left behind before I ever learned to talk,
Four months old, she was gone—left me learning how to walk
In a world where love don’t stay,
A world where hearts don’t play fair.
So I built these walls while my heart froze up inside,
Only thing that I could trust… was that cold steel by my side.
Then you came along, girl, made me trust for the first time…
And you hurt me like the ones who walked away back in my life’s first rhyme.
