(Intro)
I stand among the pieces of who I used to be
I try to remember what it felt like to be safe
Your name still lingers in the silence
But I no longer recognize myself
(Verse 1)
You came like someone who would stay
You spoke of tomorrows that never existed
I opened my heart without holding back
You saw how fragile it was
And still, you chose to break it
Now I carry the weight of words you forgot
While I still remember every one of them
I try to understand how someone who says they care
Can leave so much damage behind without looking back
(Pre-Chorus)
I ask the question in the dark
The answer never comes
Only the echo of everything that was lost
(Chorus)
Who gave you the right
To make me feel this way
To take the light from my eyes
To plant doubt where trust once lived
Who gave you the right
To walk away without seeing what remains behind
I look at the person in the mirror
And she no longer believes in love
(Verse 2)
I remember how I believed
That love was something that protected people
Now it sounds like a story that belongs to someone else
You changed something I can never get back
Not my smile
Not my dreams
But the part of me that believed someone would stay
When things became difficult
(Build)
I try to forgive you
Not because you deserve it
But because I am tired of carrying this pain with me
I do not want to stay trapped forever
In the shadow of what you did
(Final Chorus)
Who gave you the right
To break my heart and move on as if nothing happened
To make someone wonder if love was ever real
Who gave you the right
To make me feel like I was not enough
But today I give something back to myself
My voice
My worth
My truth
And even though I no longer believe in the love you promised
I will learn to believe in myself again
(Outro)
Your footprints disappear into the distance
The scars still remain here
But I no longer belong to the pain
I belong to the woman who survived it
