Out On My Own

Cracks in the walls, voices in the night

Kitchen light flickers, nothing ever right

Mama cried quiet, daddy slammed doors

I learned how to breathe on a battlefield floor

Backseat dreams with a bag full of clothes

Counting every mile just to get where hope goes

No map, no hand, just a heart on fire

Built my wings out of pain and desire

I was just a kid tryna hold it together

Storms in my chest, yeah I lived in that weather

Now I’m out on my own, yeah I made it this far

From a house full of hurt to chasing who you are

Every scar, every tear turned into my light

I was lost in the dark, now I’m learning to fight

I ain’t got it all, but I’m finally free

From the chains that were never meant for me

Yeah I broke that cycle, I rewrote my name

Out on my own… and I’m not the same

Hand-me-down love, never fit me right

Promises faded like they feared the light

I carried their weight like it was my own

But I learned real quick I was better alone

Phone don’t ring but my heart still does

Echoes of what we never was

Still I rise, even when it hurts

Turned every “why me” into “I’m worth”

They said I’d fall, I’d end up the same

But I walked through the fire and I changed the flame

Now I’m out on my own, yeah I made it this far

From a house full of hurt to chasing who you are

Every scar, every tear turned into my light

I was lost in the dark, now I’m learning to fight

I ain’t got it all, but I’m finally free

From the chains that were never meant for me

Yeah I broke that cycle, I rewrote my name

Out on my own… and I’m not the same

Some nights I still hear the past calling me back

But I’m stronger than shadows, I ain’t falling through cracks

I built me a life from the pieces they broke

Turned silence to strength, turned pain into hope

Now I’m out on my own, standing tall in the rain

No more running from ghosts, no more living their pain

Every step that I take, yeah it’s mine to claim

I’m not where I started, I’m not who I came

And it took everything just to finally see

The person I needed was always me

Yeah I broke that cycle, I carried the flame

Out on my own… and I’m not the same

From a broken home… to a heart remade

I didn’t just survive… yeah, I found my way.
