Lyrics

Description

(Verse 1)

I was the one they left behind,

The kid too loud, too wild, too much.

They loved me like a duty—

Not a choice, not a touch.

I learned to hide my hunger well,

Smiling while I bit my tongue.

My mother said I ruined things—

And I believed her when I was young.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I wore guilt like a second skin,

Carved forgiveness on my knees.

Every time they broke me down,

I begged them just to see me bleed.

⸻

(Chorus)

But I was never the safe one.

Never the soft, sweet song.

I was thunder in a child’s voice—

I was right, when they swore I was wrong.

So I built a heart out of broken glass,

Let ’em shatter it every time.

I wasn’t born for mercy—

I was born to survive.

⸻

(Verse 2)

My dad said he loved me,

But only in silence and sighs.

He died before he told me why

He only looked through me, not in my eyes.

And mama, oh mama—

You still echo in my head.

“Ugly. Fat. Unwanted thing.”

I repeat it in my bed.

⸻

(Bridge)

And yeah, I stole. I lied. I screamed.

You never asked me why I burned.

Just watched me fall and called it fate—

But I was begging to be heard.

You want the truth?

You think I’m brave?

I’m just a girl who learned to stay

In a house that prayed she’d fade away.

⸻

(Chorus 2 - Stronger, almost screamed)

No, I was never the safe one.

Never the easy love.

I was grief with a heartbeat,

A misfit in a world of doves.

But I found god in shadowed woods,

And power in my rage.

I wasn’t meant for silence—

I was built to break the cage.

⸻

(Final Chorus - Slower, stripped, heartbreaking)

I was never the safe one…

But I still stayed.

Still loved you through

Every name you gave.

If I die tomorrow, let it be known—

I was the fire they couldn’t own.

⸻

(Outro - Quiet, breathy)

I’m not sorry I was loud.

I’m not sorry I hurt.

I’m just sorry I kept

Waiting to be heard.
