[Intro]
Silent shadows, broken trust, scars unseen
Losing sight of everything, where have I been?
[Verse 1]
Grew up with questions, stories left untold
Secrets in the darkness, hearts grown cold
You held the truth, buried it deep inside
While I was fighting for my life, wondering why
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see through the lies, the disguise
The pain of the past, it never dies
Why did you turn away, let me stray?
Left me in this lonely fray
[Chorus]
Mother, how could you be so far?
Leaving me with every scar
Thought you loved, but now I see
You were just another mystery
Mother, you're a ghost I chase
Lost in shadows of your face
Healing’s just a distant song
Knowing I was wronged all along
[Bridge]
Fighting through the tears, breaking the chains
Every heartbreak, every stain
Trying to find my way, reclaim my life
Despite your silent, selfish cry
[Outro]
Now I stand alone, but I am strong
The truth will carry me along
Mother, I forgive but won’t forget
Your love’s a shadow I can’t get
