unethical

I never asked for the things I knew,
I was only a child trying to make it through.
And even now, when I say I'm okay,
There are words in my heart I can't quite say.
Chorus
These memories won't let me go,
They're the only things I've never shown.
I wear a smile, but deep inside,
There's a thousand tears I try to hide.
Oh, childhood, why did you hurt so much?
Why did I learn fear before I learned love?
I'm trying to heal, but the pain still shows,
I'm growing up, but the past won't go.
Bridge 🥀
Maybe one day I'll look back and see,
The child I was deserved to be free.
Maybe the tears won't always fall,
Maybe I'll learn I was worthy through it all.
I cannot change what happened back then,
But maybe my story can start again.
I'm more than the hurt, more than the past,
And I deserve a peace that lasts.
Final Chorus 🖤
These memories still call my name,
But I know that I am not to blame.
I'm finding my voice, I'm learning to grow,
Even with memories that won't let go.
Oh, childhood, you were harder than it seemed,
You left your shadows inside my dreams.
But somewhere beneath this heart of stone,
There's a little girl who deserves a home.
Outro — whispered vocals
I was only a child…
I needed love, not pain.
I'm still learning how to feel safe…
And I'm learning I can heal again.
