Family Scars
[Intro]
(Mmm… yeah…)
(Oh-oh…)
(Talk to ’em…)
They say blood thicker than water…
So why it feel like I’m drowning?
(Yeah… yeah…)
[Verse 1]
I learned to cry where nobody could hear,
Bottle every heartbreak, swallow every tear.
Every family picture got a ghost in the frame,
Everybody smiling, but nothing stayed the same.
Love came with conditions, hugs came with goodbye,
Got so used to being hurt, I forgot how to ask why.
They left scars where my trust used to live,
Now I question every ounce of love I try to give.
(Mmm…)
(Why me?…)
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word still echo in my head,
Every promise already dead.
You don’t know what silence sounds like…
When your own people leave you for dead inside.
(Yeah…)
[Chorus]
I got trauma from family, scars and pain,
I’m suffocating underneath this rain.
Can’t keep pretending that I’m okay,
I’ve been breaking down in a thousand ways.
Every night these memories call my name,
Every morning I’m fighting through the flames.
They broke my heart before the world could even try…
Now every “I love you” sound like another lie.
(No… no…)
(Why?… Why?…)
[Verse 2]
Built my heart like a prison with invisible bars,
Covered every wound underneath designer scars.
They don’t see the battles every smile gotta hide,
They only love the version that survives.
I stopped expecting people to stay,
‘Cause leaving always found its way.
You created storms then blamed my rain,
Now you wonder why I’ll never be the same.
(Mmm…)
(That’s crazy…)
[Rap Verse]
Look…
Y’all taught me pain before you taught me peace,
Made me carry everybody while my soul decreased.
Every fake apology was another disguise,
Saw the truth the first time I looked in your eyes.
You can’t rewrite history, I lived every page,
Every broken memory turned into my rage.
Now I’m standing on my own, I ain’t begging for a seat,
Turned survival into something they can never defeat.
You watched me drown then questioned why I changed,
Now I’m cold ‘cause y’all played too many games.
The same ones judging never felt my sleepless nights,
Now they shocked I finally learned to choose my life.
(Facts…)
(Yeah…)
[Bridge]
You can keep the guilt…
You can keep the blame…
I’m done carrying a fire that you started in my name.
I won’t let your darkness become my identity…
Even if these scars stay with me forever.
(Oh-oh…)
[Final Chorus]
I got trauma from family, scars and pain,
But I refuse to wear your chains.
Every tear became another lesson,
Every loss became another blessing.
You tried to bury everything inside of me,
But flowers still grow through tragedy.
I’m still standing with these scars on my skin…
And that’s proof you never broke me in.
(I’m still here…)
(Still breathing…)
(Yeah…)
[Outro]
One day these scars won’t hurt the same…
But I’ll never forget who gave them their names.
(Fade…)
(Mmm…)
(Family scars…)
(Yeah…)
