It Was Never Me V

Lyrics

You told me it was all in my head.
You said I talk too much, then you shut me down
Said I'm too weak, couldn't stand my ground
Every word I spoke, you twisted around
Built me up slowly, just to tear me down
You said I'm crazy, said I'm losing out Every lie you told, you said it out loud
I questioned myself every time you frowned Didn't see the trap till I was already bound
I thought I was broken, I thought I was wrong Lived in your silence, erased my own song
Buried my voice just to keep you strong
The truth was inside me all along
It was never me
It was everything you made me be
All the doubts you put in me
All the lies you dressed for them to say
It was never me
I was trapped inside your reality
Now I see what I couldn't see
It was never mine
You rewrote my memory, line after line
Told me what I felt, said your truth was mine
Every time I cried, you said I crossed the line
Every time I healed, you pulled me behind
You played the victim every single time
Made me feel guilty for speaking my mind
I gave you my voice, I gave you my time
While you held the chains and called it divine
I lived in confusion, believed I was wrong
Trapped in your story where I don't belong
Now I'm uncovering what you withdrew from
The truth that was buried, all I love
It was never me, it was everything you made me be
All the doubts you put in me
All the lies you trust for them to say
It was never me
I was trapped inside your reality
Now I see what I couldn't see
It was never me
You don't control me
You don't own my soul
You don't hold power, you just played a role
You tried to break me, you tried to take hold
But I'm not the story, you tried to control
Every scar you gave me is making me whole
Every truth I find now is taking its toll
You tried to erase me, erase what I know
But I'm still standing, I'm taking control
It was never me
Now I'm finally who I'm meant to be
All the voices you left in me
No longer control what I can say
It was never me
Now I'm rising
Now I'm finally free
And the girl you buried deep in me
Is alive and finally free
For so long I believed
What you made me see
For so long I thought that it was me
Now I see the truth so clearly
It was never me
