Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You swore you'd catch me Swore you'd keep me from the dark Held my hand at crosswalks Said you'd die before you'd see me scarred But your voice got quieter And your eyes got cold Promises curdled Like a story told [Chorus] You were supposed to be my protector You were supposed to be my blood You were supposed to be my father But you dragged me through the mud You were supposed to guard my heartbeat Hold it gentle Hold it tight You were supposed to be my shelter But instead you tried to take my life [Verse 2] I learned every exit Mapped the creak in every stair Counted breaths in the hallway Prayed the floor stayed bare You said I was nothing Till I almost believed Every bruise had a reason Every tear you never seemed to see [Chorus] You were supposed to be my protector You were supposed to be my guide You were supposed to be my father But you chose your rage Your pride You were supposed to guard my heartbeat Keep the monsters from my sight You were supposed to be my shelter But instead you tried to take my life [Bridge] I am not your silence (no) I am not your shame I walk out of your shadow now You don't get my name [Chorus] You were supposed to be my protector But I learned to stand alone You were supposed to be my father Now I build my own home I'll guard every fragile heartbeat Mine is burning Burning bright You were supposed to be my shelter But you don't get to take my life
