Reclaiming My Heart

[Intro]
Beautiful shackles, I thought they were gold,  
A story written, but never told.  
Your laughter echoed, a beautiful spell,  
But in your shadows, I found my hell.
[Verse 1]
You left me with whispers, promises unkept,  
I painted our dreams, while you silently slept.  
Like a ghost in the night, you slipped through my veins,  
But I wore your silence like invisible chains.
[Pre-Chorus]
But the walls you built, they were never my fate,  
With every heartbeat, I learned to escape.  
Your love was a puzzle, pieces never fit,  
Now I'm mending my heart, rising from the pit.
[Chorus]
Now I’m breaking free, turning the page,  
Finding love in the sun, no longer your cage.  
You want my light when you’re alone in the dark,  
But I'm learning to soar, reclaiming my heart.
[Verse 2]
You flash confusion when I find my stride,  
Seems you want the attention, but not to be by my side.  
Your eyes speak of longing, yet your heart plays a game,  
You cling to the memories, but forget my name.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear that I shed was a lesson in time,  
Where you once shone, I’m discovering rhyme.  
You beg me to linger, stuck in your past,  
But these rose colored glasses of mine, shattered at last.
[Chorus]
Now I’m breaking free, turning the page,  
Finding love in the sun, no longer your cage.  
You want my light when you’re alone in the dark,  
But I'm learning to soar, reclaiming my heart.
[Bridge]
Like a brand, you wear a childish pout,
I won’t be your treasure, I'm bowing out.
I’m carving my own path, and I’ll stand tall and proud,  
No longer a ghost that you’ve tried to hold down.
[Outro]
So take your reflection and see what you’ve done,  
I’m dancing in freedom, I’ve finally won.  
You didn't want me, but now can't let me fly,
Chains of your making? Time to say goodbye.
