[Verse]
Six years locked in a war I didn't start
Each scream
Each bruise built a fortress 'round my heart
Hate was my sword
My shield
My throne
But it cut me deeper than I'd ever known
[Prechorus]
I wore that anger like a crown
But it pulled me under
Dragged me down
[Chorus]
Let it burn away
Let it fade to dust
The fire that kept me breathing turned my soul to rust
I’m done with the weight
Done with the blame
I forgive you
Mom
But I won't be the same
[Verse 2]
Eighteen now
Scars feel like home
They whisper truths that chill my bones
I wanted justice
I wanted pain
But all I found was a bitter chain
[Prechorus]
I can’t rewrite what you did
But I can choose how I live
[Chorus]
Let it burn away
Let it fade to dust
The fire that kept me breathing turned my soul to rust
I’m done with the weight
Done with the blame
I forgive you
Mom
But I won't be the same
