Perfidy 23

Once this storm passes, I won’t recall

How I made it through the nights so long. The pain was deep, the silence loud, But I stood my ground beneath the clouds.

I may wonder if it’s truly done,

Or just the calm before the next one.

But I’m no stranger to this hurricane—

It’s left me jaded, but still I remain.

(Chorus)

Tonight I’m broken, but not shattered.

Down, but still alive, that’s what matters.

Grief-stricken, yet there’s hope inside.

I’ve embraced the rain, and I’ll survive.

The sun will shine on me again,

After the perfidy of twenty-three’s pain.

I’ll emerge stronger, wiser, too,

Guarding the dreams I once let through.

No longer will I give my soul away

To those who leave me in disarray.

This storm will carve its mark in me,

A deeper strength, a new clarity.

I’ve weathered the waves and crashing seas, And now I know what peace can be.

(Chorus)

Tonight I’m broken, but not shattered.

Down, but still alive, that’s what matters.

Grief-stricken, yet there’s hope inside.

I’ve embraced the rain, and I’ll survive.

The sun will shine on me again,

After the perfidy of twenty-three’s pain.

The darker the night, the brighter the dawn, The heavier the storm, the sweeter the calm. With every tear, I’ve found my way—

Through the rain, I’ve learned to stay.

(Chorus)

Tonight I’m broken, but not shattered.

Down, but still alive, that’s what matters.

Grief-stricken, yet there’s hope inside.

I’ve embraced the rain, and I’ll survive.

The sun will shine on me again,

After the perfidy of twenty-three’s pain.

Remember, the storm can’t last forever,

And through the chaos, I’ve found my tether.

Perfidy tried, but it couldn’t take me—

I’ll rise stronger, for the world to see.
