I used to hide when they’d come home, Afraid of the words, the hands that would roam, Always silent, never seen, A world where I couldn’t breathe. They never cared, they never stayed, Only left marks that wouldn't fade, Broken inside, I couldn’t scream, But now I’m waking from that dream. La la la, I tried to fight, But you never saw me in the light, La la la, it hurt so bad, You never knew the scars I had. La la la, I’ll break away, You won’t control me, not today, I’m stronger now, I’ll rise above, You’ll never take my heart, my love. Every time I spoke my mind, You’d shut me down, make me feel blind, An empty space, I was lost in your pain, But now I see, I’m not the same. They never cared, they never stayed, Only left marks that wouldn't fade, Broken inside, I couldn’t scream, But now I’m waking from that dream. La la la, I tried to fight, But you never saw me in the light, La la la, it hurt so bad, You never knew the scars I had. La la la, I’ll break away, You won’t control me, not today, I’m stronger now, I’ll rise above, You’ll never take my heart, my love. You thought you’d win, you thought I’d break, But I’m standing tall, I’m wide awake, The past is gone, but it won’t define, The strength I found, it’s mine, it’s mine. La la la, I tried to fight, But you never saw me in the light, La la la, it hurt so bad, You never knew the scars I had. La la la, I’ll break away, You won’t control me, not today, I’m stronger now, I’ll rise above, You’ll never take my heart, my love.
