[Verse 1]
Passed the plates like a truce
But the air still tasted sharp
Your laugh cut through the room
Like a thumbprint on my heart
Mama said, "Just let it go"
Daddy called it “family”
I learned to smile real small
So nobody would look at me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was good at holding doors
Good at taking all the blame
Good at turning down my voice
Till I almost lost my name
[Chorus]
I’m done with the damage
Done with the games
I won’t wear your guilt
Like a ring in my veins
I’m still standing
Still standing, hey
(I’m still standing)
You broke the table
I broke the chain
[Verse 2]
He said love comes with a price
Then he charged me for my tears
Took my yes and wore it out
Left it hanging in the years
I kept signing all the slips
For the chaos he’d create
Now I see the pattern clear
And I’m walking out the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
I was good at staying quiet
Good at shrinking in the frame
Good at calling poison home
Till I heard my own name
[Chorus]
I’m done with the damage
Done with the games
I won’t wear your guilt
Like a ring in my veins
I’m still standing
Still standing, hey
(I’m still standing)
You broke the table
I broke the chain
[Bridge]
If you loved me, why’d it hurt?
Why’d the truth come wrapped in blame?
I am not your empty room
I am not your ball and chain
I take back every “sorry”
Every bruise you made me name
I am softer, I am stronger
I am not your shame
[Final Chorus]
I’m done with the damage
Done with the games
I won’t wear your guilt
Like a ring in my veins
I’m still standing
Still standing, hey
(I’m still standing)
You broke the table
I broke the chain
I’m done with the damage
Done with the pain
(I’m still standing)
I broke the chain
