Verse 1 I had a world built high and steady, Walls of stone, a life I knew. Then you walked in soft and ready, Said you saw something bright in me too. Your kindness felt like shelter, Like a place I’d never been. I didn’t see the quiet pressure Pulling me closer from within. Pre‑Chorus You called it care, I called it fate, Didn’t hear the lock behind the gate. Chorus I fell into your hands so easily, Thought your warmth was meant to heal me. Didn’t know you shaped my choices, Soft commands dressed up as voices. And even when the truth turned cruel, I loved you more than I loved my rules. Verse 2 You praised me when I bent toward you, Went silent when I stood alone. I shrank myself to fit your view, Forgot the strength I used to own. Every smile you gave was measured, Every touch a quiet claim. I thought your love was something treasured, Didn’t see the pattern in your game. Pre‑Chorus You called it love, I called it home, Didn’t see you wanted me to roam Nowhere but you. Chorus I fell into your hands so easily, Thought your warmth was meant to heal me. Didn’t know you shaped my choices, Soft commands dressed up as voices. And even when the truth turned cruel, I loved you more than I loved my rules. Bridge Then one night you broke the silence, Said you’d built this out of fear. Said you never meant the violence Of taking more when I drew near. You said you didn’t deserve my heart, That letting go was how we’d start To make me whole again. Final Chorus I fell into your hands so easily, But now I see what you took from me. Your gentle words were quiet cages, Your tender acts were hidden stages. And though it hurts to walk away, I’m learning who I was that day Before you came. Outro I still love you — that part is true. But loving me means leaving you. And piece by piece, I’ll rise and mend… This time, I won’t break again.
