Verse 1 I’ve been carrying stones in my chest, Smiling like I’m not out of breath. Everybody says, “Be strong, don’t cry,” But they never watched my spirit fight. I’ve been crawling through fire for years, Washing my face with the same old tears. You can call it drama, call it too much, But I call it surviving when life got rough. Pre-Chorus And I won’t apologize For the storm in my eyes. I’ve been quiet too long, Now I’m turning it into a song. Chorus We’ve suffered enough, We’ve swallowed the pain. We’ve danced in the ashes, We’ve prayed in the rain. No more bleeding just to prove we’re tough, No more begging the world to love us. Stand up, scream it from the dust— We’ve suffered, we’ve suffered enough. Verse 2 I know what it’s like to fall apart In a room full of people with a lonely heart. I know what it’s like to need a hand, And get a lecture from someone who don’t understand. But I’m still here with my cracked-up crown, Still getting up when they count me down. Every scar is a line I survived, Every wound is proof I’m alive. Pre-Chorus So don’t tell me to breathe Like I haven’t been trying. Don’t tell me I’m weak When you’ve never seen my dying. Chorus We’ve suffered enough, We’ve swallowed the pain. We’ve danced in the ashes, We’ve prayed in the rain. No more bleeding just to prove we’re tough, No more begging the world to love us. Stand up, scream it from the dust— We’ve suffered, we’ve suffered enough. Bridge This is for the ones who were told to stay small, For the ones who kept giving when they had nothing at all. For the mothers, the fighters, the ghosts in the hall, For the hearts that kept beating after losing it all. We are not your tragedy, We are not your shame. We are the thunder That remembered its name. Final Chorus We’ve suffered enough, Now we’re breaking the chain. We’re done making homes Out of heartbreak and blame. No more bleeding just to prove we’re tough, No more begging the world to love us. Hands up, rise up from the dust— We’ve suffered, we’ve suffered enough. Outro Enough with the silence, Enough with the fear. If love is the answer, Then start with us here. We’ve suffered enough.
