[Verse 1] I held your sins in my arms Like they were mine I carried the weight of your world On my shoulders Year after year The balancing act grew harder I yearned for the love of a father But it never reached me not like I wanted not what I needed [Pre-Chorus] I was never meant To carry this weight Never meant To break this way But still you asked me to turned my whole world into a plot for your trademarks [Chorus] You are not what they made you out to be You are not what they made you out to be You are not your trauma You are a brilliant light You are defined no longer By their sins that they placed on you, it's time to lay them down [Verse 2] In case nobody's ever told ya, girl You are pure gold Thick skin and some walking shoes On your feet You face a choice And I know you're scared But the first step forward Is already there, right in front of you (yeaa breathe it in) [Pre-Chorus] Take that breath Let the chains of shame fall to the floor Take that step, or you'll regret it Even if the cost is too high There is more in you (hmmmm mmmm) Than what broke your heart make a move, you're walking the wire [Chorus] You are not what they made you out to be You are not what they made you out to be You are not your trauma You are a brilliant light You defined no longer By their sins that they placed on you, it's time to lay them down [Bridge] Love from him Was never really for me It was a twisted up game With dark schemes But hear me now I was never yours to make bleed I just wanted the love of a father but my childhood was spent fighting For someone else's war you never tended my wounds you pushed your thumb in deeper Just to keep me in your claws [Final Chorus] You are not what they made you out to be You are not what they made you out to be You are not your trauma You are a brilliant light You're gold, girl Take your first step into the light
