[INSTRUMENTAL] [Verse 1] They carved my name in whispers, Spat it out like it was sin. Eyes like knives in daylight halls, Teaching me to fold within. Laughter dripped like acid rain, Every word a public scar, I learned silence like a prayer To survive the way they are. [Pre-Chorus] I wore their cruelty like chains, Counted cracks in classroom walls, But something dark began to grow Where they thought I’d finally fall. [Chorus] You broke me loud, you broke me slow, But pain taught me how to stand. Every tear you made me swallow Turned to iron in my hands. I rose from jokes, from fists, from lies, From every name you tried to brand— I am not what you created, I’m the fire you couldn’t end. [INSTRUMENTAL] [Verse 2] They said I’d never be enough, Said my voice was built to shake. Mocked my skin, my thoughts, my walk, Every breath a fresh mistake. But in the mirror, late at night, I met a girl who wouldn’t die— Bruised, unholy, sharp with truth, Learning how to bite back pain. [Pre-Chorus] While they fed on borrowed power, I fed on rage and sleepless nights, And every wound became a vow: I will outlive your spite. [Chorus] You broke me loud, you broke me slow, But pain taught me how to stand. Every tear you made me swallow Turned to iron in my hands. I rose from jokes, from fists, from lies, From every name you tried to brand— I am not what you created, I’m the fire you couldn’t end. [Bridge] (lower, almost whispered) I learned strength in shadows, Grace in being alone. I stitched myself from fragments You swore would leave me cold. Your voices still echo— But now they kneel, they bend. I wear my scars like scripture: This is how monsters end. [INSTRUMENTAL] [Final Chorus] (bigger, darker) You broke me loud, you broke me slow, But look at me—still here. I turned your hate into a crown, Your cruelty into fear. I am forged in what you gave me, Every bruise a holy flame— I survived your little hells And rose stronger from the pain. [Outro] Mock me now— I no longer bleed for you. I became the storm That learned your names And forgot them. [INSTRUMENTAL]
