===== ===== ===== Description ===== ===== ===== This song reveals the devastating reality behind the romantic narrative presented in the first track. Speaking from beyond the grave, the female victim exposes the truth about what was actually a relationship marked by control, manipulation, psychological abuse, and ultimately femicide. Every "loving gesture" from the first song is recontextualized as an act of manipulation or violence. The track serves as both a powerful denunciation of domestic violence and a call to action for women who might be living in similar situations. ===== ===== ===== Important ===== ===== ===== To fully understand this project's message and impact, it is essential to listen to the first track before this one. Only by experiencing both perspectives can you grasp the complete narrative and the critical social commentary about how domestic violence is often disguised and justified. ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== [Verse 1] Those yellow flowers? Apologies for bruises you left Those dinner dates? Cells where my freedom was theft You made me smile just to tear me down twice as hard When you'd "calm" me down, you were playing the guard You memorized my secrets just to use them as weapons Turned my dreams into nightmares, my hopes into lessons You weren't my shelter, you were the storm and rain Now I'm dead, but I can finally speak through this pain [Chorus - Building intensity] You stole everything that made me who I was My voice, my friends, my family's love Now that I'm gone, I can tell them the truth You didn't love me, you destroyed my youth You choked the life from my soul every day Until that final moment when you took me away [Verse 2] Thirty calls a day wasn't love, it was surveillance You needed to control my every movement, every glance That wasn't jealousy, that was sickness in your mind You didn't know what I needed, you were cruel and unkind You didn't protect me from lies but isolated me from help When you "lost your temper," I'd be crying by myself Those weren't moments of passion, but calculated attacks Foundation on my cheekbone, long sleeves to hide the cracks Your eyes would change in seconds from fake love to pure hate Right before your fist would seal my fate [Chorus - More aggressive] You stole everything that made me who I was My voice, my friends, my family's love Now that I'm gone, I can tell them the truth You didn't love me, you destroyed my youth You choked the life from my soul every day Until that final moment when you took me away [Bridge - Spoken with building rage] How stupid was I to believe you'd ever change? How naive to think your promises weren't strange? My family was there, my friends were waiting The police, the hotline, but I kept hesitating You'd say "it's for your own good" and I'd believe your lie Every bruise was a lesson, every tear an alibi What were you protecting me from? Your own violent hands? You liar, you killer, now everyone understands [Verse 3 - Intense, almost screaming] That last time you found me, you didn't want to talk You'd already decided how this story would stop I ran because I knew that look, I'd seen it before When your mask would reveal what you really were for You didn't want to keep me safe, you wanted me erased Because if you couldn't own me, then I'd be replaced [Final Verse - Direct address to other women] If there's someone listening who's living my hell Don't wait for the ending, don't believe his spell Call your mother, call your sister, call the police tonight Don't be like me, don't give up without a fight He won't change, he won't stop, he'll only get worse Break the cycle now before you're riding in a hearse [Outro - Choir of female voices building] I'm not alone, we're not alone Every woman silenced, every broken bone We're here in the shadows, we're here in the pain Telling our stories again and again Don't let our deaths be completely in vain Break free from the monster, break free from the chain Live for us who couldn't escape Live for us who met this fate You are not alone... you are not alone... [Instrumental] [Fade Out]
