[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, echoes of my past
A silent scream, a wound that lasts
[Verse 1]
Growing up, I felt the pain, life's heavy rain
Mom's hands, they hit and hurt, left a mark I can't erase
Silent tears, I hid my fears, trying to stay strong
But inside, I wondered why I’ve had to suffer all along
[Pre-Chorus]
She turned her eyes away, pretending not to see
I needed her to shield me, but she let me be
A child surrounded by shadows and doubt
Lost in a world that’s tearing me out
[Chorus]
Why did you turn away, when I needed you the most?
Why did your silence feel like a ghost?
Told you tales, secrets dark, I carried all alone
Didn’t you see, I was crying for a home?
[Verse 2]
Told her I was hurt, I was broken, didn't think she’d understand
Then I found a knife, a gift from beyond, slipping through her hand
Auntie’s shadow, a dangerous game, a nightmare I can't hide
Was it me, was it them, or just the pain I can’t survive?
[Pre-Chorus]
She watched, she stood still, with eyes cold and distant
A love she couldn't give, a trust that’s been missing
I begged her to believe, to hear my silent cries
But her fears kept her silent, she never looked inside
[Chorus]
Why did you turn away, when I needed you the most?
Why did your silence feel like a ghost?
Told you tales, secrets dark, I carried all alone
Didn’t you see, I was crying for a home?
[Bridge]
Am I just a mirror of her mistakes, a reflection of her past?
Is it really my father, or just the shadows that last?
Why did she dismiss, dismiss what I said?
Living every day with these ghosts in my head
[Outro]
Now I stand alone, scars hidden beneath the skin
Trying to find my way, to begin again
No more tears, no more pain, I’ll break free from the chain
Hope in my heart, I’ll rise above the rain
