I see the sadness in your eyes

The scars they left, the lines they crossed

They took your trust and fed you lies

Left you counting all you lost

But hear me now, you’re not alone

We’ll find a place you can call home

You deserved better

Better than the pain they gave

Better than the lies, the love they faked

Better than a world where you’re unsafe

Now I fight because they made you go away

You deserved better

They twisted truths to pull you down

But their cruelty doesn’t define you

The strength you’ve shown deserves a crown

They never could outshine you

You don’t have to fight on your own

I’ll stand right here, you’re not alone

You deserved better

Better than the hurt they gave

Better than the lies, the love they faked

Better than a world where you’re unsafe

Now I fight because they made you go away

You deserved better

Their words don’t own the truth I see

You’ve stood so strong, with bravery

You’ve carried more than most of us could

But here you stand, you're far too good

You deserved better

Better than the hurt they gave

Better than the lies, the love they faked

Better than a world where you’re unsafe

And I’ll stand with you, come what may

You deserved better

Take my hand, let’s leave this place

There’s a future we can make

You deserved better, and now you’ll see

A world where you can finally breathe
