Pain of life

[Verse 1]

The moment I surrendered, the moment I gave in
I thought you’d wrap your arms around, protect me from the wind
I called you my parents, I trusted you to lead
But you handed me to darkness, and you planted every seed
Of a hell that wasn’t for a day, wasn’t for a month or two
It stretched into endless years — and I walked it all for you

[Verse 2]

These were never just bad days — these were years of quiet cries
Dying inside a little more with every sunrise
years of walking through the fire that you built
Trapped in a life I never chose, consumed by guilt and guilt
A marriage that should never have been, a cage I never wanted to know
Hollowed out and broken — and you just let me go

[Pre-Chorus]

You saw me hurting, you saw me break
You turned your eyes, you let it ache
I swallowed knives to keep the peace
I held back screams that should have released
I grieved the life I never got to live
The freedom you had taken, the dreams you wouldn’t give
Just so the world would look your way
Just so you could have it — your way

[Chorus]

You thought you were doing what was right
You thought you could hold my fate and bend the light
But you made the worst mistake your lives could ever make
You sacrificed your own son’s heart for your own pride’s sake
With your own hands you tore my world apart
You broke the one who trusted from the start
And now it’s too late — the years are gone
The boy I could have been — you buried him at dawn
Nothing can bring those years back
No word can heal, no promise can patch

[Verse 3]

The version of me who would have loved and laughed and roamed
Who chose his own path and made his own home —
You destroyed him. He’s gone. He won’t return again
And I’m left with the pieces of the boy you called your own
But you will remember. As your days grow thin and slow
The truth will settle heavy and cold and low
You forced your own child into misery
Traded my peace for your dignity
You saw me suffer and you turned aside
And that regret — it won’t be denied

[Bridge]

It will eat you alive when the noise fades away
When there’s nothing left to hide behind at the end of the day
You’ll see my face, you’ll see my tears
You’ll know you silenced the voice that trusted you for years
You’ll know you took my life and made it bleed
And you will never, ever forgive yourselves — for me
Not for a moment, not for a breath
This regret will walk with you until your death

[Outro]

I am still hurting. I still carry the weight.
I will carry it all — it’s too late to change the fate
You wrote for me. But hear me when I say:
I will survive this. I will find my way.
But you… you will live with the truth each day
Until your very last breath fades away —
You broke your own son.
And it was all… for nothing.
