NO GOING BACK

Verse 1

He feeds on the fire when I’m breaking apart,

Stands in the doorway, knives made of words for my heart.

Watches me bleed just to feel tall,

Calls it love when I’m pinned to the wall.

When I leave, he builds a throne in my head,

Makes me believe every promise he said.

I come back empty, faith in my hands,

Loving a ghost who don’t give a damn.

Pre-Chorus

I try to speak but you locked every door,

Your mind so closed you don’t hear me anymore.

All you see is the lies they repeat,

Your head homies talk, and I take the beat.

Chorus

I’m tired of fighting just to breathe,

Tired of loving someone who loves hurting me.

You break me down till I can’t see straight,

Tell me I’m nothing, stare at my face.

But this is a war and I’m still alive,

You don’t get my soul, you don’t get my life.

I’m dropping the chains, I’m cutting the cord—

This battle is mine, and I’m walking forward.

Verse 2

You don’t even flinch when I’m getting sick,

Every tear I cry just makes you tick.

You ain’t happy unless I’m small,

Unless I hate the mirror, hate it all.

All I needed was love and a place to be safe,

All you wanted was power and pain to create.

You act like you hate me in front of the world,

Then ask me to marry you, watch me get curled.

Pre-Chorus

What I say don’t matter, it dies in the air,

You let the world in, let it sit in our chair.

You had every chance, every key, every door—

I won’t beg for mercy, not anymore.

Chorus

I’m tired of fighting just to breathe,

Tired of being your emotional relief.

I gave you my heart, you sharpened the blade,

Made me believe I was broken and fake.

But this is a war and I’m still alive,

You don’t get my soul, you don’t get my life.

I’m dropping the chains, I’m cutting the cord—

This battle is mine, and I’m walking forward.

Bridge

There were nights I wanted silence forever,

Just so the pain would finally sever.

But hear me now—I stayed, I survived,

I chose the hard road, I chose my life.

I won’t disappear to make you whole,

I won’t die inside to feed your control.

Final Chorus

I’m gonna thrive where you said I’d fall,

Do things you never imagined at all.

I’m gonna be loud, I’m gonna be real,

I’m gonna be loved for how I feel.

I’m done being bruises you can’t see,

Done being your victim, your punching bag, me.

It’s over, it’s done, I’m reclaiming my name—

No looking back, I’m walking through flame.

Outro

I’m worth more than pain.

I’m worth more than fear.

This war is over—

And I’m still here.
