Breaking Free from Shadows

Take a breath, let it out, time to face the truth

Seven years in shadows, endless wait for proof

I built a world around you, thought you’d understand

But all those dreams, they crumbled, slipped right through my hands

You looked so good on paper, the man they’d all applaud

But love is hidden deeper, in the silence of the flawed

I never got a say, just a passenger in this ride

Making choices for your heart, while mine was pushed aside

I played the role of comfort, in a script that wasn’t mine

Your dog had all your heart, I was waiting for a sign

When did I become the backdrop in your picture-perfect scene?

Oh, how I wasted time, on a love that wasn’t real

Thought I could change your mind, but you never learned to feel

Take a breath, let it out, time to face the truth

Seven years in shadows, endless wait for proof

I built a world around you, thought you’d understand

But all those dreams, they crumbled, slipped right through my hands

You looked so good on paper, the man they’d all applaud

But love is hidden deeper, in the silence of the flawed

I never got a say, just a passenger in this ride

Making choices for your heart, while mine was pushed aside

I played the role of comfort, in a script that wasn’t mine

Your dog had all your heart, I was waiting for a sign

When did I become the backdrop in your picture-perfect scene?

Oh, how I wasted time, on a love that wasn’t real

Thought I could change your mind, but you never learned to feel

Now I see the light, breaking through the heavy dark

You lost a faithful love, oh it’s you who missed the mark

My kindness ran for miles, while your heart stayed in retreat

I knew the taste of lonely, every night I faced defeat

You were a king in your castle, but I was just a queen

Standing in your shadow, where love should've always been

I imagined us as partners, walking side by side

But you chose your independence, while I kept my heart tied

Thought I would be enough, but the throne was all you sought

Oh, how I wasted time, on a love that wasn’t real

Thought I could change your mind, but you never learned to feel

Now I see the light, breaking through the heavy dark

You lost a faithful love, oh it’s you who missed the mark

I’m tearing down the walls, I’m reclaiming all my days ̵

You can keep your picture, I’ll rewrite my own ways

And though I held you close, and sacrificed my peace

This chapter’s finally closing, my heart will find release

So here’s to better loves, to choices that are mine

I finally found my voice, and it feels so divine

You’ll remember what you lost, when the silence starts to break

But know that I’ve moved on, this was my chance to wake
