Shattered Silence

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
