Shattered like glass

Verse 1

I learned to walk on broken words,

Before I learned to dream,

Every mirror showed her voice,

Telling me I wasn’t “me.”

I tried to be her perfect child,

Tried to make her proud,

But love felt like a battlefield,

And home was just too loud.

Pre-Chorus

I smiled through every tear I cried,

Learned to hide the pain,

Built my walls with sorry’s and

With whispers of her name.

Chorus

My heart is shattered like glass,

On the floor of yesterday,

Every word you threw at me

Still cuts me when I pray.

I’m bleeding from your past,

From the love I never had,

Trying to rise from pieces

Of the girl you made so sad.

Verse 2

You said I’d never be enough,

Said I’d never fly,

So I folded up my wings

Every time you watched me try.

I carried all your anger,

Like it was my fault,

Every dream I ever had

You turned into a wall.

Pre-Chorus

I learned to beg for kindness,

Like it was a crime,

Learned to shrink myself

Just to fit inside your mind.

Chorus

My heart is shattered like glass,

On the floor of yesterday,

Every word you threw at me

Still cuts me when I pray.

I’m bleeding from your past,

From the love I never had,

Trying to rise from pieces

Of the girl you made so sad.

Bridge

But even broken glass can shine,

When the light hits just right,

I’m learning how to love myself

After every fight.

You don’t own my future,

You don’t write my pain,

I’m more than all your shadows,

More than all your chains.

Chorus (Stronger)

My heart was shattered like glass,

But I’m picking up the pieces now,

Turning every scar to strength,

Teaching myself how.

I’m healing from your past,

From the love you couldn’t give,

I’m building something beautiful,

I’m learning how to live.

Outro

I’m not your broken story,

I’m not your mistake,

I’m a diamond from the pressure

Of the choices that you made.

My heart was shattered like glass…

But now I know my worth at last. 💎
