Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken Letter Tone]
Dear You,
This ain't a diss, it's a release.
A letter from the me you tried to break…
But couldn’t.


---

[Verse 1]
Do you know who you are?
Yeah, you wore that mask well—
Smiles in public, but at home it felt like hell.
You controlled my mind, fed lies on repeat,
Twisted truth like rope, just to knock me off my feet.

Gaslight queen, played the victim with finesse,
Any time I questioned things, you flipped it in defense.
I used to second-guess my worth, walkin’ on eggshells,
Tried to heal your wounds while I bled in my own hell.

You called the cops when I pushed back with truth,
Used fear like a weapon, like emotional abuse.
You played innocent while I looked insane,
But behind closed doors, you were causing all the pain.

[Chorus]
I broke free—yeah, I see it clear now,
You were winnin’ in my head, but I took back the crown.
You can't control me, I’m no longer confused,
This letter is closure for the years I was used.

You can spin your stories, paint your lies in gold,
But the truth's on my side, and I won't be controlled.
It took me a while, but I’m stronger for the scars,
So I ask you again—do you know who you are?

[Verse 2]
You denied every tear, every scream, every bruise,
Told me I was crazy just to cover your abuse.
Built me up just to break me down again,
Called it love—but it felt like the end.

I played dumb, held on, hoped you’d change,
Lost myself just trying to keep you sane.
But you never saw me—you just saw a pawn,
Till I woke up one day and said, “I’m gone.”

It wasn't love—it was power, control,
Every move calculated, every touch cold.
Now I'm rebuilding with truth as my guide,
No more shadows—I walk in light.
[Chorus]
I broke free—yeah, I see it clear now,
You were winnin’ in my head, but I took back the crown.
You can't control me, I’m no longer confused,
This letter is closure for the years I was used.

You can spin your stories, paint your lies in gold,
But the truth's on my side, and I won't be controlled.
It took me a while, but I’m stronger for the scars,
So I ask you again—do you know who you are?

[Bridge – Spoken]
You’ll say this is bitter.
You’ll say I’m angry.
But I’m just finally honest—
And free.
[Verse 3 – Final Verse]
To the one I once feared, I no longer flinch,
Your hold on my soul? It's gone without a pinch.
I forgave you, not for you, but for me—
To break the cycle and finally be free.

I won’t hate you, but I won’t forget,
You taught me what pain is—but also self-respect.
So here’s to healing, to truth and to peace,
This letter is the end—my soul’s release.

[Final Chorus – With Power]
I broke free—yeah, I see it clear now,
You were winnin’ in my head, but I took back the crown.
You can't control me, I’m no longer confused,
This letter is closure for the years I was used.

You can spin your stories, paint your lies in gold,
But the truth's on my side, and I won't be controlled.
It took me a while, but I’m stronger for the scars,
So I ask you again—do you know who you are?
