Cracks in the walls, voices in the night
Kitchen light flickers, nothing ever right
Mama cried quiet, daddy slammed doors
I learned how to breathe on a battlefield floor
Backseat dreams with a bag full of clothes
Counting every mile just to get where hope goes
No map, no hand, just a heart on fire
Built my wings out of pain and desire
I was just a kid tryna hold it together
Storms in my chest, yeah I lived in that weather
Now I’m out on my own, yeah I made it this far
From a house full of hurt to chasing who you are
Every scar, every tear turned into my light
I was lost in the dark, now I’m learning to fight
I ain’t got it all, but I’m finally free
From the chains that were never meant for me
Yeah I broke that cycle, I rewrote my name
Out on my own… and I’m not the same
Hand-me-down love, never fit me right
Promises faded like they feared the light
I carried their weight like it was my own
But I learned real quick I was better alone
Phone don’t ring but my heart still does
Echoes of what we never was
Still I rise, even when it hurts
Turned every “why me” into “I’m worth”
They said I’d fall, I’d end up the same
But I walked through the fire and I changed the flame
Now I’m out on my own, yeah I made it this far
From a house full of hurt to chasing who you are
Every scar, every tear turned into my light
I was lost in the dark, now I’m learning to fight
I ain’t got it all, but I’m finally free
From the chains that were never meant for me
Yeah I broke that cycle, I rewrote my name
Out on my own… and I’m not the same
Some nights I still hear the past calling me back
But I’m stronger than shadows, I ain’t falling through cracks
I built me a life from the pieces they broke
Turned silence to strength, turned pain into hope
Now I’m out on my own, standing tall in the rain
No more running from ghosts, no more living their pain
Every step that I take, yeah it’s mine to claim
I’m not where I started, I’m not who I came
And it took everything just to finally see
The person I needed was always me
Yeah I broke that cycle, I carried the flame
Out on my own… and I’m not the same
From a broken home… to a heart remade
I didn’t just survive… yeah, I found my way.
