Careless With My Heart

Verse 1 I’ve been a storm in a locked-up room, breaking what I couldn’t say. Hands full of thunder, mouth full of wounds, trying to scare the hurt away. I cut the silence into lines, punched the wall to feel the bone. Pulled out the pieces meant to heal me, just to prove I was alone. Pre-Chorus And I keep asking the mirror, “How did I get this far?” When did pain become a language? When did I get careless with my own heart? Verse 2 I threw away the softer things, like they were never mine to keep. Love would knock, I’d lock the door, then blame the dark for losing sleep. I wore my rage like armor, I wore my shame like skin. Made a weapon of my sadness, then turned it back within. Pre-Chorus But now I see the child in me with blood on both her sleeves, not asking to be punished, just begging someone not to leave. Chorus I wasn’t trying to disappear, I was trying to survive. I was screaming through my body, just to know I was alive. Every broken thing around me was a prayer I couldn’t start. I didn’t know I was hurting — I got careless with my own heart. Bridge So I’ll put the glass down. I’ll step away from the flame. I’ll learn to hold my shaking hands without giving them the blame. I’ll call the wound by its real name. I’ll let the tears come clean. I was never born destructive — I was taught not to be seen. Final Chorus I’m not trying to disappear, I am learning to survive. I am speaking through my spirit, not just bleeding to feel alive. Every scar still has a story, but it doesn’t own the part where I become more gentle with my own heart. Outro Careful with my own heart. Careful with my own heart. I’m still here, still healing, careful with my own heart.
