She Deserves to Be Free

[Verse 1]
She grew up chasing shadows of a man who never stayed
Held her mama’s pain like it was hers to bear and brave
She dreamed of love that wouldn’t run, a hand that wouldn’t shake
So she gave her heart to someone safe, thought that’s all it’d take

[Pre-Chorus]
He works in silence, far away
And she tells herself, He loves me this way

[Chorus]
But who sees her crying in the night?
Who hears the ache she tries to hide?
She tells herself, He’s doing this for us
But the quiet still hurts just as much
She longs for arms, not just a name
For someone who sees her through the rain
She deserves more than being strong for too long
She deserves to be free

[Verse 2]
Then came a voice through a glowing screen
Said all the words she used to dream
He made her feel like she was seen
Until love turned into control and screams

He pulled her in, then broke her down
Twisting truth and love around
She wore the blame like second skin
But lost herself in loving him

[Pre-Chorus]
And every time she doubted worth
She heard his voice, not her own first

[Chorus]
And who tells her this is not her fault?
When he made her feel like she was small
She forgave the pain, wore every shame
Held on while he fed the flame
She broke, but never let it show
Still prayed for peace she shouldn’t owe
But she deserves more than a love that wounds
She deserves to be free

[Bridge]
She’s not weak for needing more
Not wrong for walking through that door
Love should never steal her light
Or make her doubt what’s truly right

[Final Chorus ]
So she chose the ones who call her "Mom"
Let go of what was dragging her down
She stayed where roots and promise grow
And left the storm she used to know
She still feels lonely, but she's brave
She keeps her soul, her strength, her grace
She deserves to live, to heal, to breathe
She deserves to be free

[Outro]
Yes
She deserves to be free
Still standing through the ache
She’s rising, not breaking
She deserves to be free
