(Intro - Soft piano chords with a warm acoustic guitar) (Verse 1) You walk in the room, and the shadows disappear A beautiful soul, with a heart so pure and clear We all see the devotion in the way you stand Holding your grandfather’s fragile, aging hand You nurse him with patience, you give him your light A selfless angel in the quiet of the night Mom and Dad look at you with so much pride and tears They raised a queen to conquer all her fears But you carry a modesty that blinds your own eyes You don't see the value of the prize inside. (Verse 2) The ink is barely dry on the vows you made But the vows were a trap, and the colors start to fade You caught him in the dark, where the secrets hide Trading dirty money for a cheap thrill outside He needed blue pills just to play his part A pathetic lie to break a golden heart No honor in his veins, no truth in his eyes Just a web of shadows and a mountain of lies. (Chorus) 'Cause you deserve someone better, oh, don’t you yield! Don’t let his twisted words become your battlefield Don’t listen to the sweet talk, the excuses he will weave He’s a ghost in a suit, it’s time for you to leave Your kindness is a treasure, too sacred for his abuse You are a priceless light that he chose to misuse. (Verse 3 - Rhythm builds up, drums enter) He’ll fall upon his knees, he will cry and plead Blaming the world for his selfish greed But a toxic betrayal is a line you don't cross Let him drown in the shadows of his own heavy loss Don't let your soft heart believe his regret Some sins are too deep to forgive or forget You think being good means you have to endure But your goodness demands a love that is pure. (Chorus) 'Cause you deserve someone better, oh, don’t you yield! Don’t let his twisted words become your battlefield Don’t listen to the sweet talk, the excuses he will weave He’s a ghost in a suit, it’s time for you to leave Your kindness is a treasure, too sacred for his abuse You are a priceless light that he chose to misuse. (Bridge - High emotional peak, strings and electric guitar) Look at us, your family, we are standing like a wall Your parents are right here, we won’t let you fall Forget the whispers outside, forget the neighborhood talk Nobody is laughing as you take this walk They only see a girl who is beautiful and true And every single one of us is hurting for you Open your eyes, see the light in your face Your value isn't measured by a coward's disgrace! (Guitar Solo - Dramatic, soaring and empowering) (Chorus - Full energy, maximum vocal power) Yeah, you deserve someone better, don’t you ever yield! Leave his broken promises out in the field! No more sweet talk, no more games he can weave You’re walking out the door, and it’s time to believe Stay strong, hold your head high, let the new life begin You’ve got the power to rise and to win! (Outro - Music slows down back to a gentle piano) No whispers can touch you now... No judgment in the crowd... Grandpa is smiling, we’ve got your back Step off his crooked, broken track You are worth the world, it’s time you knew A beautiful heart deserves a love that is true... So much better... (Soft piano fade out)
