[Verse] You lit the fire and let it burn Left me to ashes with no return Your words were daggers they cut so deep I’m still awake while you’re fast asleep [Verse 2] You built a cage and threw the key Told me it’s love but it felt like grief I climbed the walls I broke the chain But freedom came with a world of pain [Chorus] Oh father do you see me now I’ve taken the scars and turned them proud You gave me hell but I found the sky From the ashes of your lies I learned to fly [Verse 3] The mirror cracked but I see clear I wear my battle wounds like souvenirs I’ll never thank you for the war you made But I’ll keep walking unafraid [Bridge] I don’t need your ghost in my head I’ve made my peace with the things you said Your shadow fades but I still stand I built my world with my own hands [Chorus] Oh father do you see me now I’ve taken the scars and turned them proud You gave me hell but I found the sky From the ashes of your lies I learned to fly
