[Intro]
Whispers in the silence, shadows in the rain
Echoes of a story no child should face again
[Verse 1]
My mother was my sister, not by choice, Louise
Shoulders built like iron, carrying more than dreams
Holding up a house that was breaking at the seams
You wore the weight like it was yours to take
Smiling through the cracks, never let it break
Pretending you were fine just to keep us safe
While your own childhood slowly slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
Woken in the night, scrubbing pain off plates
Blamed for every mess, every one of her mistakes
Took the hits, the words, stood there in the rain
You were just a kid carrying all that pain
[Chorus]
You were the rail line holding this train
While she kept derailing, shifting the blame
Gave you all the weight, all the shame
Took your light and called it love’s name
But now you’re free, breaking through the chains
Rising from the ashes, healing the stains
Your voice will echo, loud and clear
No longer haunted, no more fear
[Bridge]
Shattered mirrors, reflecting a new dawn
From the shadows, a new girl is born
Strength in her silence, fire in her eyes
She’s reclaiming the story, rewriting the skies
[Outro]
Louise, your story’s found its peace
From the broken pieces, a new release
No more hiding, no more shame
You are the fire, you are the flame
