ME [INTRO] (Breathing…) (Don’t look… don’t speak…) (I’m still here…) [VERSE 1] I was sixteen, barely knew my own name, You were thirty-two, feeding off my pain. Every locked door stole another breath, Every sunrise felt a little more like death. Friends faded into photographs, Family voices drowned behind the glass. You built a prison with invisible chains, Then blamed me for every bruise you made. (Don’t cry… don’t cry…) [PRE-CHORUS] Cold floor beneath my shaking knees, Counting cracks instead of dreams. Praying footsteps wouldn’t stop outside… Praying somehow I’d survive. [CHORUS] This is me… Bruised in places no one could see. Broken bones inside my soul, Trying to make a shattered heart feel whole. This is me… Silent screams nobody believed. Every scar still whispers your name, But they don’t get to define me. No… You’ll never own me again. [VERSE 2] You laid me down like I wasn’t alive, Like I existed just to survive your nights. Bruises blooming underneath my skin, While you smiled like violence was a sinless thing. When you weren’t there, I’d lie awake, Face against that freezing concrete. Crying so hard I couldn’t breathe, Wondering if anyone would ever hear me leave. Trapped inside those four cold walls, Watching hope become so small. Two years… every single day… The same nightmare, a different pain. (Every… single… day…) [PRE-CHORUS] You stole birthdays, stole my youth, Tried to bury every piece of truth. But somewhere underneath the fear… A heartbeat whispered, “Stay here.” [CHORUS] This is me… The girl you tried to erase completely. You took my voice, you took my trust, Left my world to gather dust. This is me… Still carrying what you did to me. Every scar still burns the same, But shame was never mine to claim. You’ll never own me again. [BRIDGE] I carried a child while carrying fear, Trying to survive another year. My body remembered every fight, Even when I couldn’t sleep at night. You wanted my world to disappear. You wanted silence. You wanted obedience. You wanted me to become nobody. But I’m still here. (I’m still here…) [FINAL CHORUS] This is me… Not the name you tried to destroy in me. Not the tears upon that floor. Not those locked and bolted doors. This is me… Learning how to finally breathe. You’ll forever wear the blame… And I’ll forever reclaim… Me. [OUTRO] (Locked doors open…) (My voice returns…) (You don’t own me…) (You never will.)
