I remember the nights, waiting by the phone,
Hoping you’d call, but I felt so alone.
You had your dreams, while I lost my way,
Scribbling my heart in the dust and the gray.
I sat in the room of white waiting for the day.
You said I was too much, you said I was too weak,
But every tear I cried, was just a chance to speak.
Now I see the truth, the light in my eyes,
You were the storm, but I learned to rise.
You missed your chance to watch me bloom,
While I fought through the shadows, breaking the gloom.
I only wanted your love, a place I could stay,
But now I’m grateful for the strength you pushed away.
I remember the laughter, the games I would play,
But your cold, distant heart just locked me away.
You never saw me, not the girl I could be,
Now I’m moving forward, I’m finally free.
You left me with echoes, of what I should fear,
But now I stand tall, with the truth loud and clear.
You’re everything I don’t want, a mirror of shame,
While I’m finding my light, and reclaiming my name.
You missed your chance to watch me bloom,
While I fought through the shadows, breaking the gloom.
I only wanted your love, a place I could stay,
But now I’m grateful for the strength you pushed away.
I grew into an amazing woman,
With dreams that light the night,
You didn’t see the beauty,
Now my eye’s see you in a new light.
You wanted me to crumble,
But I’m standing on my own,
And I’ll never lose the sparkle,
That you tried crushed to the bone.
You missed your chance to watch me bloom,
While I fought through the shadows, breaking the gloom.
I only wanted your love, a place I could stay,
But now I’m grateful for the strength you pushed away.
I can see my future, I’m ready to fly,
With the love I deserve, I’ll reach for the sky.
You were my lesson, my past’s heavy chain,
But now I’m the storm, and I’m dancing through rain.
