Verse 1
Some scars run deep
I feel them even now
Locked up inside
But I can’t let them out
I trace every step in my mind
Covered truth and broken lies
Those Twisted scenes
Leaving me paralyzed
Pre-Chorus
You don’t define me, I’m bigger
You’re just the past, not a trigger
You lost your hold, I found my way
I’ve got one thing left to say
Chorus (low, driving)
You thought you could control me
You don’t define me, you don’t own me
I survived the storm you started
Now I’m living, wholehearted
Verse 2
I wore your silence like a chain
Carried every ounce of blame
But every piece you broke in me
Found a way to breathe again
Echoes try to pull me back
Call my name from where I cracked
But I didn’t live inside that fire
I didn’t fall into your trap
Pre-Chorus
You don’t define me, I’m stronger
Your shadow doesn’t last any longer
I saw the truth, I saw the line
And I’m finally living my life
Chorus
You thought you could control me
You don’t define me, you don’t own me
I survived the storm you started
Now I’m living, wholehearted
Bridge (stripped, emotional → build)
I found my voice in the wreckage
Turned my pain into a message
Every breath, I broke free
You didn’t get the best of me
Final Chorus (bigger, still low-rooted)
You thought you could control me
You don’t define me, you don’t own me
I survived the storm you started
Now I’m living, wholehearted
