(Verse 1)
Mommy, why'd you close the door?
I just wanted more
You told me I was nothing
But deep down, I was something
You threw your words like daggers,
Cut me straight to the core
(Chorus)
Cry for help, but you won’t hear me,
Invisible scars, but they’re so clearly,
I’m living in a shadow, where the light won’t shine,
Wishing for a childhood that could’ve been mine
(Verse 2)
You called me names in anger,
Made me feel so small,
The house was full of whispers,
But it’s you who built these walls
(Chorus)
Cry for help, but you won’t hear me,
Invisible scars, but they’re so clearly,
I’m living in a shadow, where the light won’t shine,
Wishing for a childhood that could’ve been mine
(Bridge)
But I’m breaking free,
No more living in your pain,
With each step away,
I’m learning how to love again
(Chorus)
Cry for help, but you won’t hear me,
Invisible scars, but they’re so clearly,
I’m rising from the ashes, and I’ll take back my time,
Finding my own light, ‘cause it’s finally mine
(Outro)
So close that door, I’m walking out,
No more living in doubt,
I’ll find my way, I’ll stand tall,
I’ll heal these wounds, I’ll break down your walls.
