After the Thunderstorm

[Intro]
In the echo of lies, I was lost in the dark,
A shadowy game where you left your mark.
But the clouds are breaking, and I see the dawn,
Thunderstorm faded, and I’m carrying on.
[Verse 1]
You wore your mask like a crown on your head,
Spinning sweet stories while I bled.
Whispers of love turned to echoes of pain,
I was drowning in silence, you were dancing in rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Messages left on read, a heart out of tune,
Searching for answers under a cracked silver moon.
But I’m tearing down walls, brick by brick,
Finding the sunlight in the spaces you’d picked.
[Chorus]
I’m learning to breathe, oh, like the sky after storms,
Winds have changed, and the heart now transforms.
No more chains of your grasp, I'm breaking free,
I'm coming back, oh, just you wait and see.
[Verse 2]
In bitter reflection, I see what you stole,
The fragments of dreams, the weight on my soul.
But every scar tells a story, a chapter to tell,
From the ashes I rise, like a phoenix from hell.
[Pre-Chorus]
Waking from shadows, your voice fades away,
No longer my anchor, I’m sailing my way.
Your reflection is shattering, dust in the breeze,
Found strength in the silence, I'm done with the tease.
[Chorus]
I’m learning to breathe, oh, like the sky after storms,
Winds have changed, and the heart now transforms.
No more chains of your grasp, I'm breaking free,
I'm coming back, oh, just you wait and see.
[Bridge]
Oh, the lightning that struck taught me to rise,
Thunder’s deep roar cracked my heart wide.
Now I dance in the rain, unchained from your lies,
Eyes wide open to a life I’ll revise.
[Outro]
So here’s to rebirth, to lessons hard won,
You may have thought you’d see me come undone.
But I’m a tempest now, fierce and alive,
After the thunder, oh, watch me thrive.
