I don’t want revenge anymore. But don’t confuse peace with forgetting. I walked away with clean hands, heavy heart Left old fires where they fell apart I could’ve answered pain with pain Could’ve dragged their names through rain But I chose silence over war Not because I didn’t hurt no more Not because the scars were light But because I’m done feeding nights I got memories I don’t defend Got chapters I don’t read again Got people I could expose But peace is worth more than shows I know what happened, I know the cost I know the version of me I lost But I don’t need to burn the past To prove I survived at last My heart is heavy But my conscience is clear I left the noise behind me And I’m still here Clean hands, heavy heart I walked through the dark But I didn’t become What tried to tear me apart Clean hands, heavy heart Still carrying scars But I won’t let pain Decide who we are I could’ve turned cold, could’ve turned cruel Could’ve let betrayal rewrite my rules Could’ve made every wound a blade Could’ve made every loss get paid But I’m not here to mirror damage I’m here to learn how to manage The rage, the grief, the old regret Without becoming what I can’t respect That’s growth, that’s war That’s closing the door That’s knowing you can strike But choosing something more I got clean hands, not a clean past Heavy heart, but I move fast I don’t need revenge to restart I got clean hands and a heavy heart Peace doesn’t mean they were right. It means they don’t own me anymore. Clean hands, heavy heart I walked through the dark But I didn’t become What tried to tear me apart Clean hands, heavy heart Still carrying scars But I won’t let pain Decide who we are I remember everything. I just don’t live for revenge anymore.
