Verse 1

I used to count the seconds till your voice would break the silence,

Now I count my steps away from every lie you polished.

I knelt in the dark, begging for a truth you couldn’t give,

But every word you twisted only taught me how to live.

You’d pull me close to whisper poison like it was a secret,

Then push me out and watch me crumble like it was a lesson.

Well, I learned it all by heart—the cold, the games, the weight,

And now I wear that pain like armor, heavy but it fits just right.

Chorus

I’m not the girl who waits beneath the broken door,

I’m the storm that shakes the walls you built before.

One breath you held me like the world depended on your touch,

The next you showed me how much stronger I become when you’re gone too much.

I took the scars you left and turned them into steel,

Now every step I take is ground I finally get to keep.

Verse 2

You thought I’d stay a ghost in the corners of your story,
