[Intro] [style: hard rock, classic rock, atmospheric rock, violin, soulful, high-fidelity] [Guitar cries in slow bends, shadows humming underneath] [A lone violin drifts like a ghost across the room] [Verse 1] [style: hard rock ballad, soulful female vocal] I kept your secrets buried, hidden under floorboards Notes tucked in the corners of rooms we never restored Your quiet little bargains grew heavier each year You shaped the way I whispered, pressed silence into fear [Pre-chorus] [style: blues hard rock] And still I kept standing Though you blurred what I could see Holding on to moments That kept cutting into me [Chorus] [style: hard rock, soaring ballad] Never again will I walk through your ruins Never again let your shadow decide me I’m stepping out from the weight you held me in It’s rough to break free, rough to begin Still I speak the words as the cold leaves my skin Never again [Verse 2] [style: classic rock, emotional] You wore my trust like armor, patched with every excuse I traced the dents you hid behind every practiced truth But love’s not measured in silence, and pain’s no kind of due It took one honest morning to see I owed myself something new [Pre-chorus] [style: blues hard rock] And I kept holding To the hope you’d shift someday But the truth rose steady Till it carried you away [Chorus] [style: hard rock ballad] Never again will I fold just to stay Never again will I fade into gray I’m learning how to breathe past the grip you held in It stings to move on, stings to live in my skin But the vow on my lips keeps burning within Never again [Instrumental Interlude] [style: atmospheric rock, violin + string bending guitar solo] [Violin weaves a mournful trail, guitar answers with wailing bends] [Bridge] [style: emotional, soulful] Maybe I’m still shaking Maybe I’m still torn But I’m done with your taking Done feeling worn Healing’s slow, but I’ll start it tonight Step past your outline and claim my own light [Final Chorus] [style: hard rock, dynamic, soaring] Never again will you pull at my heart Never again will you tear it apart I’m rising from the embers of all you held within Still scarred, still trembling, but breathing again And I’m singing these words like a shield in the wind Never again
