Verse 1)

You built me up with stories sweet as rain,

but every drop was tangled up in pain.

Your gentle voice was thunder in disguise,

a storm that hid behind kind eyes.

(Pre-Chorus)

And when I tried to stand,

you said it was love that pulled me near,

but love should never whisper

through the cracks of fear.

(Chorus)

You keep pushing me down just to pick me up,

breaking me soft in the name of trust.

You say you save me when you tear me apart,

but I won’t let you rewrite my heart.

Now the air is mine, I’m breathing clear,

your shadow fades — I’m still here.

(Verse 2)

Your ghost still hums a song in my mind,

but I’ve stopped dancing to that rhyme.

I found my strength where silence grows,

in the truth my spirit knows.

(Pre-Chorus)

Your fire once burned bright,

but it turned the light to pain,

I’ve walked through your ashes,

and I won’t go there again.

(Chorus)

You keep pushing me down just to pick me up,

breaking me soft in the name of trust.

You say you save me when you tear me apart,

but I won’t let you rewrite my heart.

Now the air is mine, I’m breathing clear,

your shadow fades — I’m still here.

(Bridge)

Under a sky where I once cried your name,

I let it wash away in the rain.

The wind sang freedom through the trees,

and I finally learned to be at peace.

(Final Chorus)

You keep pushing me down just to pick me up,

but I’m stronger than your touch.

My soul remembers what it’s worth,

I’m done with all your love that hurts.

You keep pushing me down, but I rise above —

I found myself beyond your love.
