[Verse 1] I used to tremble when you called my name, walking on eggshells, drowning in shame. Your words were knives, your love was rain, but I learned to dance through the pain. I wore your storms like second skin, thought losing you was losing me within. But I found a fire deep in my chest, and now I’m stronger than the rest. [Chorus] You can’t break what’s already free, I built my wings from the debris. You took my voice, but not my soul, I found the light you couldn’t hold. You can’t break what’s already free — I survived the part of me that used to bleed for your belief. [Verse 2] You said I’d crawl, you said I’d beg, but I learned to walk on my own legs. You tried to own my every move, but silence became my proof. Now I’m singing in the open air, no more ghosts, no more despair. I left your echo far behind, and love myself in every line. [Chorus] You can’t break what’s already free, I built my wings from the debris. You took my voice, but not my soul, I found the light you couldn’t hold. You can’t break what’s already free — I survived the part of me that used to bleed for your belief. [Bridge – soulful, slow] No revenge, no hate, no cry — just a woman who learned to fly. Your shadow fades with every song, I was broken, but not for long. [Final Chorus – full, triumphant] You can’t break what’s already free, I turned my scars to melody. You took my peace, but not my name, I walked through fire, I’m not the same. You can’t break what’s already free — I’m more than pain, I’m clarity. I survived you, I survived me. [Outro – soft humming, piano fades]
