Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say you learn the hard way,
When you’re torn between wrong and right,
An angel whispers softly—
But the devil owns the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t know where I was going,
Just followed the pain and the flame,
But silence became my freedom,
And I stopped playing your game.

[Chorus]
I went through hell—yeah, through hell and back,
Looking for someone to save me.
Tried to escape what I lacked,
But I was the one who betrayed me.
You called me crazy, outta my mind,
While hiding the scars you gave me…
You put me through hell—through hell and back—
And still expected me to thank you, baby.

[Verse 2]
You wrapped your lies in velvet,
You smiled while breaking my soul,
Said love was our religion—
But you never played that role.

[Pre-Chorus]
You masked the pain with kisses,
Left bruises behind your name,
But this fire forged my spirit—
I won’t play your twisted game.

[Chorus]
I went through hell—yeah, through hell and back,
Looking for someone to save me.
Tried to escape what I lacked,
But I was the one who betrayed me.
You called me crazy, outta my mind,
While hiding the scars you gave me…
You put me through hell—through hell and back—
But next time, you won’t break me, baby.

[Bridge – slow and stripped back, then builds]
Why’d I think I could save you,
When I couldn’t save myself?
We both were sinking deeper—
No heroes, just ghosts on the shelf.

[Final Chorus – full power]
Yeah, I went through hell—through hell and back,
But now I know who can save me:
It’s me, just me, no looking back,
No more chains to enslave me.
You won that round, but not the war,
I’m rising from what you made me—
Through hell and back, I’m still alive—
And this time, you won’t break me.

[Outro – fading with haunting guitar riff]
Through hell and back…
But I’m still standing.
