[Verse 1]
We all got secrets behind our doors
Whispers echo through the broken floors
Christmas came, and peace ran dry
Aunts yelling truth, mom couldn’t deny
But something shifted in her soul
She picked herself up, took control
While bills stacked up, we had no clue
My sister's silence hid the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Three months of lies, unpaid dues
Spent on a car she didn’t wanna lose
And we were left in a house gone cold
No lights, no heat, just stories untold
[Chorus]
Two weeks in the dark, frozen showers, no spark
Eating from a job to hide the marks
Food went bad, but we stayed tough
Living in DV, but it’s been rough
And just when we thought we had it hard
I broke a heart, like a careless card
Didn’t speak, didn’t show, didn’t try
Left her crying, asking why
[Verse 2]
She cooked me love, I gave her pain
Tears falling down on grandma's name
I let silence do all the talking
Now shame’s the weight that I walk in
Mom don’t like her, but that’s not fair
She gave me food, she was always there
In the worst nights, she was my light
And I left her alone in a losing fight
[Bridge]
Family’s first, but words still count
You gotta speak before love runs out
I stayed quiet, too scared to break
Now I live with the hurt I make
All I want is a second try
To say I’m sorry and not lie
Hope she forgives, hope she knows
My heart regrets what I never showed
[Chorus]
Two weeks in the dark, frozen showers, no spark
Eating from a job to hide the marks
Food went bad, but we stayed tough
Living in DV, but it’s been rough
And just when we thought we had it hard
I broke a heart, like a careless card
Didn’t speak, didn’t show, didn’t try
Left her crying, asking why
[Outro]
So this one’s for the lessons learned
For every tear and bridge I burned
For the voices I ignored too long
And the hearts I left when I was wrong
I hope she knows, I truly care
I’ll say the words that weren’t there
Next time, I’ll speak before I’m gone
And let love know where it belongs
