Verse 1 (soft, calm)
This is my life, they never saw my face,
just a shadow in their hands, molded to their taste.
They never really wanted me, just a picture they could claim,
I learned to hide my colors, they never called my name.
Pre-Chorus (gentle rise)
They said, “The way you are is wrong,”
pushed my heart aside so long.
But deep inside I held a flame,
and now I’ll never be the same.
Chorus (emotional, soaring)
What remains is pain, but still the light will shine,
anger in my chest, it keeps this soul alive.
I’m breaking free, no chains, no false disguise,
I tell myself — I am who I am inside.
Free… finally me, no one shapes me anymore.
Verse 2 (tender, reflective)
They tried to bend and break me, force me to their plan,
laughed at all my differences, denied the way I am.
And only when it served them, they showed a fleeting smile,
their kindness was a currency, their love was just a trial.
Pre-Chorus (stronger)
I heard their voices, sharp and cold,
but I won’t live the life they hold.
Step by step I found my way,
and I will never fade away.
Chorus (soaring, heartfelt)
What remains is pain, but still the light will shine,
anger in my chest, it keeps this soul alive.
I’m breaking free, no chains, no false disguise,
I tell myself — I am who I am inside.
Free… finally me, no one shapes me anymore.
Bridge (powerful, emotional peak)
They pushed me out, when I was no use,
turned away love, but I found my truth.
Out in the dark, I saw the morning rise,
a brighter world, no mask, no lies.
Verse 3 (soft → rising)
This is my life, not their rule, not their law,
I’ve built myself a haven, from the strength I saw.
The scars upon my body, the fire in my eyes,
they’re not my weakness — they are where my courage lies.
Final Chorus (full, uplifting)
What remains is pain, but still the light will shine,
anger in my chest, it keeps this soul alive.
I’m breaking free, no chains, no false disguise,
I tell myself — I am who I am inside.
Free… finally me, no one shapes me anymore.
Outro (gentle, fading)
This is my life, and I’m taking it back,
no shape can hold me, I’m on my own track.
Free… yes I’m free, that’s my promise, my cure.
I am real, I am whole, and I’ll keep walking sure.
