The Cycle I break

(Verse 1)
You say you don’t trust me,
But I stayed through the storms,
Held your world together
While you were breaking every form.
I spoke from my heart,
You walked out the door,
Turned your back on my voice
Like it never mattered before.

(Pre-Chorus)
You carry your anger like it’s all that you know,
Spilling pain on everything that tries to grow,
You smile for the crowd, put a mask on display,
But I see the truth you keep pushing away.

(Chorus)
You say you love me, but you don’t know how,
Your wounds run so deep, you won’t face them now,
I gave you my light, you turned it to blame,
And I’m done losing myself in your pain.
I have to leave, I have to be free,
This cycle ends here—it won’t take me.

(Verse 2)
All day it’s hatred,
Complaints in the air,
Nothing is sacred,
Nothing is fair.
You needed the praise,
The world at your feet,
But couldn’t hold space
For the love that you’d meet.

(Pre-Chorus)
I poured out my soul, gave you all I could give,
But you were too lost in the way that you live,
No healing, no mirror, no truth you can see,
So I’m choosing myself—finally.

(Chorus)
You say you love me, but you don’t know how,
Your wounds run so deep, you won’t face them now,
I gave you my light, you turned it to blame,
And I’m done losing myself in your pain.
I have to leave, I have to be free,
This cycle ends here—it won’t take me.

(Bridge)
Maybe I stayed too long,
Maybe I gave too much,
Maybe I believed in a love
That was never enough.
But I see it now—
Clear as the truth in me,
You loved what I gave,
But you never loved me.

(Final Chorus)
So I’m walking away, I’m reclaiming my name,
No more shrinking down just to fit in your frame,
You can keep your illusions, your fear, your control,
I’m choosing my peace, I’m choosing my soul.
I have to leave, I have to begin,
Not broken this time—
But rising again.
