Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was six when the world felt cold,
Mama cried, and I did what I was told.
Tried to smile through the war at home,
But the silence taught me I’m alone.

Twelve came with shadows and pills,
Learned to numb what the pain can’t kill.
Sixteen, I was buried in thoughts,
Talkin' to ghosts, tryna silence the knots.

Eighteen now, but I feel eighty-three,
Still got chains no one else can see.
They call it life, but I missed the start,
Grew up fast with a shattered heart.

[Hook]
Tell the mirror it lied when it said I was grown,
Tell my childhood I’m sorry I left it alone.
Tell the pain I was just too young,
To carry that weight and bite my tongue.
Tell the nights I still hear the screams,
Tell the light I still chase old dreams.
Tell the world I survived my doom —
But I lived too much, too fast, too soon.

[Verse 2]
I’ve been the parent, the fighter, the friend,
Held my family up just to bend.
I’ve been the kid with the broken stare,
Talkin' wise, but nobody cared.

Responsibility stacked on a child's chest,
Never learned how to breathe or rest.
They praise the strength, never see the cost,
I built my future outta things I lost.

Can’t rewind, can’t hit reset,
But I swear I ain’t done fighting yet.
This soul got scars, this voice got truth,
I’m the ghost of a stolen youth.

[Hook – repeat / variation]
Tell the mirror it lied when it said I was grown,
Tell my childhood I’m sorry I left it alone.
Tell the pain I was just too young,
To carry that weight and bite my tongue.
Tell the nights I still hear the screams,
Tell the light I still chase old dreams.
Tell the world I survived my doom —
But I lived too much, too fast, too soon.

[Outro – Emotional Power Vocals / Loud & Raw]

I was never just a number, I was never just a name,
I was fighting in the silence, I was drowning in the flame.
Every scream I never shouted, every tear I had to hide,
Built the fire in my chest that kept me breathing through the night.

Don’t you dare call me broken — I was made in the storm,
With the weight of a lifetime before I was born.
I’m still here, still bleeding, still true —
And I lived too much, but I’m not through.
