Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] He came home drunk with fire in his eyes, A fist like thunder, breaking the skies. Mama stood silent, her heart turned to stone, In that house of sorrow, I was never alone. [Verse 2] Her hands would tremble but her lips wouldn’t speak, A love that was broken, worn thin and weak. She forgave his anger, but love never came, In her hollow embrace, I carried the blame. [Chorus] Oh, I’m running from shadows, the ones that won’t fade, From the echoes of violence and promises frayed. I’m breaking the chains of that cold, bitter past, Trying to find freedom, a love that will last. [Verse 3] The fields stretched wide, but they couldn’t hold me, A caged bird longing for skies to be free. Every mile I drive, I leave part of my pain, But the roots of that home still pull like a chain. [Bridge] Mama, I know you meant to survive, But your forgiveness kept the darkness alive. I can't carry your sorrow, I can't bear his sin, I’m finding my place where the light can begin. [Chorus] Oh, I’m running from shadows, the ones that won’t fade, From the echoes of violence and promises frayed. I’m breaking the chains of that cold, bitter past, Trying to find freedom, a love that will last.
