I kept it buried deep, never let it show
Acted fine on the outside, but I felt it low
Had to learn to breathe through a broken soul
No flowers from the world, just a grave and a headstone
Sixteen years and it still cuts deep
Some nights I still don’t even get sleep
He moved on while I carried that weight
Acting like nothing ever came from that date
Small town rumors, they twisted the truth
Called me dramatic like I ain’t go through it
Had to grow up fast while I was still a kid
He said he’d be there, put it on everything
Then disappeared like it didn’t mean a thing
Left me on that bridge that night
While I begged him not to leave
I still wonder if he ever even thinks
About our daughter
He went and built his life like nothing occurred
While I was drowning in things he never heard
Now he talkin’ like God changed his name
But where was that conscience back in the day
No “I’m sorry,” no “I hope you’re okay”
Just religious captions like he changed his ways
I seen the screenshot, it reopened the scar
And something in me snapped, I won’t lie
⸻
🔥 HOOK / CHORUS
I hid it deep, never let it show
Smilin’ outside while I’m hurt below
No flowers came, just a headstone
I had to grieve her all alone
Sixteen years and it still don’t fade
Some nights I still feel stuck in that place
He moved on like it never went wrong
While I been carryin’ it all along
I still wonder if he ever thinks about our daughter
Or if she’s just a name he never even brought up
Same small town, same dirt, same pain
But I turned all my scars into a name
He said I wouldn’t make it, I would stay the same
Now I’m on features while he stuck in the lane
I made it out the way he said he would someday.
