I Remember

[Intro] (Whispered)
(I remember…)
(Yeah…)
(No… no…)
I remember…
I remember everything… (everything)
I wish I didn’t… (I wish…)

⸻

[Verse 1]
I remember counting cracks across the ceiling, (one… two… three…)
Holding every breath, pretending I wasn’t breathing. (don’t move…)
Footsteps in the hallway, stomach tied in knots, (please don’t…)
Praying to disappear before the handle caught. (not again…)

I remember learning silence kept me safer, (stay quiet…)
Smiling through the tears just to make the anger fade. (fake it…)
Every little piece of me was breaking out of sight… (falling apart…)
I was just a child trying to survive the night. (just a child…)

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Now every empty room… (echoes…)
Still echoes with your name. (your name…)
Close my eyes for one second… (don’t close them…)
And I’m right back there again. (again… again…)

⸻

[Chorus]
I remember every word, every look, every lie. (every lie…)
Every time I begged myself, “Just make it through tonight.” (hold on…)
I remember shaking, I remember freezing, (can’t breathe…)
Wondering if tomorrow would ever come. (please…)

You stole years that I’ll never get back… (never…)
You left scars no one could see. (under my skin…)
I remember… (I remember…)
Even when I don’t want to. (make it stop…)

⸻

[Verse 2]
I remember hiding bruises underneath my sleeves, (cover them…)
Learning how to laugh while my heart was on its knees. (smile… smile…)
People said, “You’re quiet,” but they never knew the truth… (they never knew…)
Silence was the language that was forced into my youth. (so quiet…)

I remember blaming myself for everything you did, (my fault…?)
Thinking if I changed enough maybe I could fix it. (maybe then…)
You made me carry guilt that was never mine to hold… (let it go…)
Now I’m left with memories that never seem to grow old. (they never leave…)

⸻

[Bridge] (Almost spoken)
Sometimes I wake up and I’m still there… (still there…)
The walls… (closing in…)
The fear… (I remember…)
The sound of my own heartbeat drowning out my voice. (too loud…)

Sometimes a smell… (takes me back…)
A song… (don’t play it…)
A door closing too hard… (slam…)
Pulls me straight back into the darkest night of my life. (I’m scared…)

People say, “It’s over.” (it’s over…)

Then why does it still feel so close? (why…?)

⸻

[Final Chorus] (Big, emotional)
I remember every tear I was too afraid to cry. (don’t cry…)
Every broken promise. Every silent goodbye. (goodbye…)
I remember wishing someone would notice me… (please see me…)
Someone would save me… (save me…)
Someone would believe me. (believe me…)

But I’m still here. (still here…)

Not because you were kind… (never…)
Not because it was easy… (it wasn’t…)
Because somehow my heart kept beating. (keep beating…)

You’ll always be part of my memories… (I remember…)

But you’ll never be the author of the rest of my story. (never again…)

⸻

[Outro] (Barely whispered)
I remember… (I remember…)

I always will… (always…)

But I remember who I am now, too. (I’m still here…)
(I’m free…)
