[Verse 1]
Heart heavy, shadows creep in the seams,
Taught to carry silence, buried deep in my dreams.
But I’m not her reflection, no, I’m carving my lane,
Breaking through the cycles, unlearning the pain.
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna be my mother, no tears on replay,
I’ll rewrite the story, I’ll show a brighter day.
For my future children, I’ll color skies anew,
Even if there’s evil, I’ll paint the world true.
[Verse 2]
Whispers in my head, but I drown out the curse,
Generational weight, I’m reversing the verse.
Built a bridge from the ashes, let it blaze,
I’ll teach them love’s power, not fear’s cage.
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna be my mother, no tears on replay,
I’ll rewrite the story, I’ll show a brighter day.
For my future children, I’ll color skies anew,
Even if there’s evil, I’ll paint the world true.
[Bridge]
Chains snapping like thunder, storm in my chest,
I’ll rise from the wreckage, give them my best.
Every scar’s a lesson, every wound’s a map,
Guiding me to a future free of the trap.
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna be my mother, no tears on replay,
I’ll rewrite the story, I’ll show a brighter day.
For my future children, I’ll color skies anew,
Even if there’s evil, I’ll paint the world true.
