(Verse 1)
The nights are long, the silence loud,
Mom’s tears fall hidden in the crowd.
Bottles empty, anger fills the air,
I’m caught in storms that don’t seem fair.
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to hold on, but it slips away,
Every word and fight, another price to pay.
(Chorus)
They say it’s my fault, but they don’t see,
The weight I carry inside of me.
Kicked out, alone, but still I fight,
Searching for peace in the darkest night.
(Verse 2)
Stepdad’s shadow looms so near,
A battle fought with pain and fear.
Blame falls heavy, like a stone,
But I’m not broken, I’m not alone.
(Pre-Chorus)
Mom wants me back, but trust is torn,
In this house, I’m feeling worn.
(Chorus)
They say it’s my fault, but they don’t see,
The weight I carry inside of me.
Kicked out, alone, but still I fight,
Searching for peace in the darkest night.
(Bridge)
Now with Dad, a different place,
Trying to heal, find my own space.
The past still haunts, but hope is near,
A softer voice I’m learning to hear.
(Outro)
I’m more than the pain, more than the blame,
A heart that’s strong, a soul aflame.
One day I’ll rise, beyond the fight,
Finding my way back to the light.
