Why Does It Still Hurt (After 7 Years)

Czech, Clear Vocals, Upbeat, hip hop, rap, female lead vocals

[Intro – Soft keys → Beat fades in]
(quiet, almost numb)
Seven years gone…
So why’s it still feel like yesterday…?

[Verse 1 – Smooth rap, restrained emotion]
I remember cracked walls, nights I couldn’t sleep,
Bruises in the mirror, secrets I would keep.
Said it was love but it tasted like fear,
Every “I’m sorry” just pulled me back near.
Glass on the floor, yeah, blood on my sleeve,
Learned how to smile while I couldn’t breathe.
Told myself “stay,” told myself “try,”
Didn’t know strength meant sayin’ goodbye.

[Pre-Chorus – Melodic, building]
Sirens in my head, echo through time,
Heartbeat racing like I’m still in that night…
I made it out alive, but something stayed behind…

[Chorus – Upbeat, emotional hook]
Why does it still hurt after seven years?
Why do I still drown in the same old tears?
I walked away, I broke those chains,
But I still feel echoes of the pain.

I’m stronger now, yeah I found my worth,
But healing don’t erase the hurt…
Why does it still hurt…?

[Verse 2 – Faster rap, more intensity]
Hospital lights, yeah, fightin’ to breathe,
Monitors beepin’, life on a string.
Doctors said “lucky,” but they didn’t know,
The war in my mind was harder than bones.
You took my voice, but I took it back,
Turned all your control into strength I stack.
Walked out that door, didn’t turn my head,
Left you behind like the version I shed.

[Pre-Chorus – Stronger now]
Scars don’t fade, they just rearrange,
Turn into armor from all that pain…
I’m still here standin’, I broke your chains…

[Chorus – Bigger, layered vocals]
Why does it still hurt after seven years?
Why do I still drown in the same old tears?
I walked away, I broke those chains,
But I still feel echoes of the pain.

I’m stronger now, yeah I found my worth,
But healing don’t erase the hurt…
Why does it still hurt…?

[Bridge – Beat drops, raw + emotional]
But I’m not her anymore…
The girl on that hospital floor…
I stood up, I walked away,
And I chose me that day.

[Final Chorus – Full energy, empowerment]
Yeah it still hurts after seven years,
But I ain’t drownin’ in those fears.
I walked away, I broke those chains,
And I survived through all that pain.

I’m stronger now, yeah I know my worth,
And I won’t let it define my world…
Yeah it still hurts…
But I’m still here.

[Outro – Soft, resolved]
(quiet, steady)
Seven years later…
And I finally chose me.
