(Instrumental) [Intro – Spoken or softly sung] You turned your back and walked away, But you never stayed to see What I became after the silence. --- [Verse 1] I held on longer than I should, Tried to believe you ever could. But every promise lost its weight, And every smile just came too late. You left me standing in the cold, With words unspoken, growing old. But even shadows wear thin with time, And I outgrew your silent crime. --- [Pre-Chorus] No rescue came, no one to call, I picked myself up from the fall. You turned away, I walked the track — I’ve been to hell… And now I’m back. --- [Chorus – Full band, bold and open] To hell and back — I bore the strain, Learned to stand inside the pain. You let go, but I held tight, I found myself through every night. To hell and back — no need to run, I faced the dark and saw the sun. You left a crack, but I don’t crack — I’ve been to hell… And now I’m back. --- [Verse 2 – Grit builds] You spoke in silence more than sound, And let the weight just pull me down. But I climbed out, step by step, And never looked for what you kept. You thought I'd break beneath the load, But I learned more than you were owed. The truth was clear beneath the mask — You never cared enough to ask. --- [Pre-Chorus – Tight, tense rhythm] I gave my all, you gave control, But I still own my heart and soul. You shut the door, I didn’t crack — I’ve been to hell… And now I’m back. --- [Chorus – Stronger vocals, layered guitars] To hell and back — I bore the strain, Learned to stand inside the pain. You let go, but I held tight, I found myself through every night. To hell and back — no need to run, I faced the dark and saw the sun. You left a crack, but I don’t crack — I’ve been to hell… And now I’m back. --- [Bridge – Stripped back, honest] You thought I’d wait, that I would stay, But I got stronger every day. You wrote the end, then disappeared, But I kept going through the fear. No more looking for your face, No more chasing what won’t chase. You lost the best you ever had — I’ve been to hell… And I’m not mad. --- [Verse 3 – Final verse, emotional clarity] I don’t regret the love I gave, But I refuse to be your slave. You took the light, but not the spark, I learned to walk without your mark. You’re just a page, I turned it clean, No longer stuck in in-between. This is my life, and here I stand — Without your voice, without your hand. --- [Chorus – Final, with harmony and dynamics] To hell and back — and now I see, You never really wanted me. You said goodbye, I said enough, You lost the heart you called too tough. To hell and back — I didn’t fold, I stood through silence, stayed through cold. You left a void, but I won’t lack — I’ve been to hell… And now I’m back. --- [Outro – Soft, clean guitar or piano] I’m not the one you walked away from, I’m the one you’ll never reach again. The silence said what you never could… And I came back — for me, not for you. ---
