Scars That Don’t Fade

(Verse 1)

I built my walls up high, brick by brick, alone
Learned too young that love can leave, and silence feels like home
Mom and Dad weren’t there, so I learned not to care
If nobody’s watching, then why should I share?

(Pre-Chorus)
I had too many dreams, too many hopes
Held on too tight, just to let go
And now I stand here, nothing left to say
Some scars don’t heal, they just fade to grey

(Chorus)
I gave and I gave, but it’s never enough
She took what she could, then called it love
I see through the lies, the secrets, the pain
And I won’t be a pawn in her selfish game
I’m done, I’m done, I’m done…

(Verse 2)
She whispered my name to the one who broke me
Kept my truth in the dark like it meant nothing
I stayed silent, I played strong
But those nights were way too long

(Pre-Chorus)
I had too many dreams, too many hopes
Held on too tight, just to let go
And now I stand here, nothing left to say
Some scars don’t heal, they just fade to grey

(Chorus)
I gave and I gave, but it’s never enough
She took what she could, then called it love
I see through the lies, the secrets, the pain
And I won’t be a pawn in her selfish game
I’m done, I’m done, I’m done…

(Bridge)
She tried to leave instead of facing me
Her shame too loud, her guilt too deep
But I won’t carry what’s not mine
Her truth, her past—I’ll leave behind

(Outro)
I’ll break the cycle, I’ll make it right
If I ever have kids, they’ll sleep at night
No more secrets, no more shame
Some scars don’t fade, but I’ll heal my name.
