I once felt like someone new, you came along
Now some things just aren't the same
I once trusted people but words mean nothing to me now
I’m lost, hurt, and torn by the lies you forever told me

I’m in nothing but shambles because you took my self worth
You took any glimpse of hope I ever clang on to
with a broken heart and tears streaming down my face,
I pick myself “you are worth more than this”

I am singled out and constantly looked over
I never voice my opinion, so you pretend everything's okay
I sit in the back corner of the class with make up piled on
trying to hide the bruises that  invaded my face

I will never shake the feeling of you fingertips crashing on my skin
You told me i mean I was something in the beginning
“You’re like a daughter to me”
I guess all beginnings come to an end
You had the problem not me

But now i am broken
i am weighed down by the chains of the “love” you had for me
i will break free and i will prevail in the end
I will stand straight up and be strong because you will not hold me down any longer

You always said I’d never be worth much, but I am worth more than gold
You always said I’d never be strong, but i am rising up against you
Now you are locked down while I continue my life broken from the chains
Because of you there’s no obstacle that I can’t overcome
