Title: “The Fruit Ain’t Sweet”
[Intro – Spoken / Lo-fi Beat]
They said it was love
But it tasted like fear
They said it was holy
But it left me in tears
[Verse 1]
Started with yelling, then came the shame
Name-calling like it’s part of the game
Insults dressed up like correction
Gaslighting in every direction
Privacy gone, control on lock
Punished if I didn’t walk the walk
Isolated from my crew
Just to keep me close to you
[Pre-Chorus]
They said it was for my soul
But it broke me, made me cold
Now I’m stuck inside this loop
And the fruit? It’s poison soup
[Chorus]
The fruit ain’t sweet — it’s pain in disguise
Muscle tension, sleepless nights
Fear and shame, racing heart
Nightmares tearing me apart
The fruit ain’t sweet — it’s confusion and tears
Mood swings, silence, hidden fears
If love feels like this, then I gotta leave
‘Cause healing starts when I believe
[Verse 2]
Can’t concentrate, can’t breathe right
Hopeless thoughts every night
I smile, but I’m not okay
I’m moody, aching every day
They said it’s just “spiritual growth”
But it’s trauma wrapped in holy quotes
I’m not crazy, I’m not weak
I just need space to speak
[Bridge – Spoken Word / Melodic Layer]
Emotional abuse ain’t just words
It’s the silence that hurts
It’s the fear of being found
It’s the shame that keeps you bound
[Final Chorus]
The fruit ain’t sweet — it’s pain in disguise
Muscle tension, sleepless nights
Fear and shame, racing heart
Nightmares tearing me apart
The fruit ain’t sweet — it’s confusion and tears
Mood swings, silence, hidden fears
If love feels like this, then I gotta leave
‘Cause healing starts when I believe
[Outro – Soft Fade]
I’m choosing peace over pain
Truth over chains
God over guilt
And love that’s built
On freedom
