I remember the nights, you'd scream and you'd shout
The sound of shattering glass, the bruises all about.
You'd tell me I was nothing, that I was to blame
For the anger that you harbored, for the pain that you'd claim
I was trapped in the darkness, of your twisted game
But I found my voice, and I learned to speak my name
I broke free from the chains, that bound me to your pain
And I rose up from the ashes, like a survivor of the flames
You shattered my heart, with a love that was a lie
You left me broken, but I survived, and I'm alive
I'm healing from the wounds, that you inflicted on my soul
And I'm rising up, to take back control
You isolated me from friends, and from family too
You monitored my every move, and controlled what I could do
You made me feel like I was walking on eggshells all the time
Never knowing when you'd snap, and unleash your rage and crime
I was trapped in the darkness, of your twisted game
But I found my voice, and I learned to speak my name
I broke free from the chains, that bound me to your pain
And I rose up from the ashes, like a survivor of the flames
You shattered my heart, with a love that was a lie
You left me broken, but I survived, and I'm alive
I'm healing from the wounds, that you inflicted on my soul
And I'm rising up, to take back control
I'm not the same girl, that you once knew
I'm stronger, I'm wiser, and I'm breaking through
I'm taking back my life, and I'm rising above the pain
And I'm learning to love myself, and to love again
You shattered my heart, with a love that was a lie
You left me broken, but I survived, and I'm alive
I'm healing from the wounds, that you inflicted on my soul
And I'm rising up, to take back control
