Lyrics

Fists through walls, bottles on the floor,
We were just kids, locking every door.
They gave us clothes, they gave us gold,
But love got loud… and it got cold
I was ten, but I played twenty-three,
Wiped her tears, said, “Stay close to me.”
Mama drunk, Daddy yelling again,
Fighting like strangers, breaking like wind.

But they still worked, still bought us shoes,
Gave us the world—while breakin’ in two.
I held her close when the night got mean,
I became the mom that she hadn’t seen.
We were just girls in a house of war,
But we found love in a bedroom floor.
You held my hand, I stood my ground,
We kept each other safe and sound.

Now we’re moms with a different view,
Breaking the cycle they never knew.
We ain’t perfect, but we’re better now—
And we still hold each other, somehow
I was fierce ‘cause I had to be,
Grew up quick when love ain’t free.
Saw too much with these little eyes,
So now I move with a sharp disguise.

Walls up high, I don’t let ‘em in,
But I still remember her holdin’ my chin.
She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take the heat,”
While I stayed quiet under the sheets
They were broken, but they tried so hard.
They gave us gifts, but not peace in the yard.
We learned to walk through shattered glass,
Turned our pain into love that lasts.
We were just girls in a house of pain,
But we found light in a world of rain.
You were my shield, I was your flame,
We kept each other through the shame.

Now we’re moms with a vow so true,
To love our babies the way we never knew.
We still cry—but we still rise,
Two young hearts with mother eyes
We raised each other…
Now we raise them.
Cycle’s broken…
And we begin again.
