Silent Betrayal

Verse 1:

Dad, you said I was a burden, something you regret,

A daughter you once wanted, now a curse you can’t forget.

You took my charm, my childhood’s light,

Turned sneaky, hiding, alone at night.

Pre-Chorus:

Logged into screens, you watched me fall,

But never saw me through it all.

Chorus:

Silent betrayal, a wound that won’t heal,

The love that was missing, the pain that I feel.

Hiding in shadows, pretending I’m fine,

But I’m breaking inside, just biding my time.

Verse 2:

Strictness built walls that I couldn’t climb,

Left me in darkness, stealing my prime.

I used to dream, I used to shine,

Now self-harm’s the comfort I find.

Pre-Chorus:

You never asked, you never knew,

The silent battles I went through.

Chorus:

Silent betrayal, a wound that won’t heal,

The love that was missing, the pain that I feel.

Hiding in shadows, pretending I’m fine,

But I’m breaking inside, just biding my time.

Bridge:

I wanted to share, to be your little girl,

But you shut me out of your world.

Every scar, every tear I cried,

Is a piece of me that slowly died.

Chorus:

Silent betrayal, a wound that won’t heal,

The love that was missing, the pain that I feel.

Hiding in shadows, pretending I’m fine,

But I’m breaking inside, just biding my time.

Outro:

Silent betrayal, you’ll never see,

The damage done inside of me.
