(Intro – whispered)
“I still smell the fear on my skin.
Still see the door that wouldn’t open.”
⸻
(Verse 1)
He said, “Relax,” but my body froze,
Walls closing in, nowhere to go.
Voice cracked—he didn’t hear no,
Now I carry that night like a shadow.
My heartbeat begged for a way out,
But the silence screamed louder than my shouts.
Now I flinch when the floorboards creak,
I learned what pain can’t speak.
⸻
(Chorus)
I’m trapped in a memory I never chose,
Trying to heal from a cut that never closed.
He took what he wanted, left me in fear,
But I’m still standing — I’m still here.
⸻
(Verse 2)
Can’t trust touch, can’t stand eyes,
I build walls just to survive.
Every smell, every sound brings it back,
A ghost that attacks from the cracks.
Tried to scrub it off in the shower,
Didn’t wash away what he powered.
It’s not dirt — it’s the shame he gave,
But I won’t live inside that grave.
⸻
(Bridge)
They ask me why I don’t smile,
Like healing’s just a matter of style.
But some nights I still see his face,
And pray for peace in that place.
⸻
(Chorus)
I’m trapped in a memory I never chose,
Trying to heal from a cut that never closed.
He took what he wanted, left me in fear,
But I’m still standing — I’m still here.
⸻
(Outro)
Now I write it down to take back control,
Turn my pain into something whole.
He broke a body, but not my song,
I’m still breathing — I’m still strong.
