Still Raising Myself

V5.5

Verse 1 I dated a stranger wearing someone else’s name, No spark in the room, just two hearts full of pain. We held each other wrong, we cut where we bled, Sleeping back to back with the words left unsaid. I was too young inside, though my body was grown, Still learning how to breathe, still learning I’m my own. How could I build a home with no foundation left? How could I give life when I was fighting for breath? Pre-Chorus And nobody saw me, Nobody came. I carried the silence, I carried the shame. Verse 2 I felt it deep down, there was no hope in that place, Only broken mirrors and a war we couldn’t face. Maybe you had demons you never let me see, Maybe I had wounds that were swallowing me. We were two storms trying to share the same sky, Too proud to say sorry, too hurt to ask why. And when my body screamed louder than my fear, I knew the love was gone, but the danger was near. Pre-Chorus And nobody held me, Nobody knew. I walked through the ending With nothing but truth. That was the final nail, The truth I couldn’t hide. I didn’t leave because I was heartless, I left because I had to stay alive. Bridge Forgive me for the life I couldn’t carry, Forgive me for the girl I used to be. She was scared and barely standing, But she still came back for me. I won’t call it weakness, I won’t call it sin. I call it the moment I chose to begin again. Final Chorus I was still raising myself, Still learning how to heal. Still trying to tell the difference Between danger and what’s real. They said, “Go to the ER,” And I went there alone. But somewhere in that silence, I found my way back home. That was the final nail, But not the end of my life. I didn’t leave because I was heartless, I left because I had to survive. Outro I was still raising myself, Still raising myself. And the child I couldn’t carry Still taught me to save myself.
