Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You slammed the door
Said I was drama
"acting out"
But you were the thunder
I was ten years old on the couch
Counting the cracks
On that yellowed ceiling
Tried to stay still
So you wouldn't see me breathing
[Chorus]
You called it love
But it felt like fear
Every "lesson" left another year
On the bathroom floor
Shaking in my skin
Daddy
I was not your mirror
I was paper skin
You called it love
But it felt like war
Every sorry slammed me to the floor again
You said
"This is how you make them strong"
But you broke your little girl with your heavy hands
[Verse 2]
You liked your drinks
Clear in a cloudy glass
Voice got sharp
When the hours slipped past
I learned your footsteps
Like a second language
Knew every board
That squeaked before the damage
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to pray
If I became perfect
You might turn gentle
You might turn human
Now I see your shadow
Is just a small man stretched long
I am not your echo
I am my own song [crescendo]
[Chorus]

Style
Sparse minor-key piano ballad building into cinematic pop; intimate female vocals start almost conversational over close-mic keys and soft pads, then drums bloom in the first chorus with low toms and reverse swells. Second verse adds airy guitars and subtle vocal doubles; bridge lifts with string beds and a distant choir, then everything drops to piano and voice for the final hook, leaving a raw, open ending.
