[Instrumental] [Intro] [sustained violin and cello, D minor] You tell me how I’m supposed to feel, Like every wound I carry isn’t real. You wear the truth the way you wear your smile, Changing every story after a while. You say I’m fragile… You say I’m blind… Until I question my own mind. [Verse] You rewrite every word I’ve said, Turn living colors into shades of grey. Every tear becomes another crime, Another reason I’m the one to blame. You stole the mirror from the wall, Now I can’t recognize myself at all. I hear your voice inside my head, Long after every word was said. [Chorus] You decide the way I breathe, You decide what I believe. Tell me my pain is all pretend, Until I can’t defend myself again. You move the ground beneath my feet, Call it love while I taste defeat. I’m disappearing piece by piece… Just to keep your fragile peace. [Verse] Every “sorry” hides another knife, Every promise comes with a price. You build a prison without chains, And somehow teach me they’re my own. I stopped trusting what I know, Started fearing every thought. If I’m always wrong… Then maybe I was never enough. [Bridge] [violins rise slowly] But silence has a different sound… When your voice is no longer around. The room is still… The air is clear… And for the first time… I can hear me. [Final Chorus] You don’t decide the way I heal. You don’t define what’s fake or real. The weight you gave me isn’t mine, I’m leaving every borrowed lie behind. You broke the mirror… Not my soul. You never had the right To tell me who I was. [Outro] The violin still cries… But now… It cries for someone Who’s finally walking away. (Fade out)
