49.My life feels unusual.”
Verse 1 At eighteen I moved with Dad, Strangers gathered at the dining hall. A long table, chairs lined in rows, They passed me rice, smiled as if they knew. Words sweeter than I ever dreamed, I believed them instantly, too easily. I thought this new house could heal my heart, But it became a cage inside my chest. Pre-Chorus Maybe I was foolish since birth, Trusting every pretty word I heard. Never cautious, never aware, Letting them break me piece by piece. Chorus I walked straight in, became the prey, Offered myself with my own hands. Believed this new home was a refuge, But it turned into prison walls inside. The fire that burns me starts within, Every harsh word pushes love away. The more I fight, the more I lose, Till I’m left with ashes of my heart. Verse 2 Waking in a house that felt so strange, Frames I never chose hung on the wall. Laughter I could never understand, Yet I forced a smile to fit in. They praised me, said I was sweet, Said I carried myself so well. So I tried to be what they wanted, Though inside I was trembling with fear. Pre-Chorus Or maybe it’s my fault for craving arms, Letting anyone hold me just to feel. Maybe I was just a child chasing love, Trading it for scars inside my soul. Chorus I walked straight in, became the prey, Offered myself with my own hands. Believed this new home was a refuge, But it turned into prison walls inside. The fire that burns me starts within, Every harsh word pushes love away. The more I fight, the more I lose, Till I’m left with ashes of my heart. Bridge The silence I held turned into flames, Burning me from the inside out. I thought hurting them would make me strong, But instead I drowned deeper again. Verse 3 Dad changed, became someone else, Stopped coming home, left cold meals behind. The more he vanished, the more I rebelled, I stopped returning too, just to defy. Till the school called through the kitchen phone, The teacher’s voice echoing in the old room. Mom stood silent, eyes red with tears, That picture still screams inside my head. Final Chorus The fire that burns me starts within, Every harsh word pushes love away. Anger at Dad for leaving me, So I kept hurting myself inside. The farther I pushed, the more I burned, My heart turned to ashes bit by bit. The fire that burns me rose from within, I hated myself but pretended not to care. The more I acted cold, the more I lost, Till only ruins of my heart remained.
