[Intro] [Uploaded vocal loop in the distance] [Gm–Eb–Cm–Dm arpeggio enters slowly] [Verse 1] You thought my silence meant I’d lost That every wound would count the cost You closed the door and watched me fall But you never knew me at all You took the pictures from the wall Left every echo in the hall You made a grave out of our home And thought I’d fear the world alone [Pre-Chorus] I carried every word you said Like broken glass inside my chest But pain can only own your life Until you finally call it lies [Chorus] You took the light—I made my own You left me empty—I built a home You took the promises we made But you couldn’t take my name You couldn’t take the blood in my veins Couldn’t make me carry your shame When I had nothing left to save I found what you couldn’t take [Post-Chorus] What you couldn’t take… My voice My life My name What you couldn’t take… I’m still here I’m still awake [Verse 2] I learned to sleep without your sound To plant my feet on broken ground The mirror stopped reflecting you And gave me back the face I knew No more explaining why I stayed No more defending what you changed I didn’t leave to set you free I closed that door to rescue me [Pre-Chorus] The truth was never mine to hide I don’t need you to say I survived You were the weight around my heart I was the one who tore it apart [Chorus] You took the light—I made my own You left me empty—I built a home You took the promises we made But you couldn’t take my name You couldn’t take the blood in my veins Couldn’t make me carry your shame When I had nothing left to save I found what you couldn’t take [Instrumental Break] [Deep Gm–Eb–Cm–Dm arpeggio] [Uploaded vocal loop echoes over slow powerful drums] [Bridge – Raw and Powerful] I won’t thank you for the damage I won’t call the hurting growth I survived because I chose me Not because you let me go I was never yours to ruin Never yours to rearrange You can keep the past behind you I am leaving with my name [Pause] My name… [Final Chorus – Bigger] You took the light—I became dawn You left me empty—I carried on You took the years we couldn’t save But you couldn’t take my name You couldn’t take the blood in my veins Couldn’t make me carry your shame When I thought that I would break I became what you couldn’t take [Final Chorus – Repeat with Full Power] You took the light—I became dawn You left me empty—I carried on You took the years we couldn’t save But you couldn’t take my name You couldn’t take the blood in my veins Couldn’t make me carry your shame When I thought that I would break I became what you couldn’t take [Final Post-Chorus] What you couldn’t take… My voice My life My name What you couldn’t take… I’m still here I’m not afraid [Outro] [Drums fade] [Gm–Eb–Cm–Dm arpeggio and uploaded vocal loop remain] You couldn’t take my name…
