dear mum

[Verse 1] Yeah, I was just a kid when you walked away, Packed your bags, left me drowning in the pain. Questions in my head that I still replay, Like, “Why’d you cut the cord and throw me in the flames?” Mom, you were supposed to be my safe place, Instead you left scars I can’t erase. I learned quick, life don’t give grace, Now I wear the weight on my chest like a nameplate. [Pre-Chorus] But I don’t bend, I don’t break, Every scar you gave turned to strength. I found peace in the storm, Built a fire from the hate you formed. [Chorus] You tried to break me, now I’m unbreakable. You left me empty, now I’m unshakable. All that damage, yeah, it made me strong — I turned your silence into my song. [Verse 2] See, I remember nights when the lights went black, No mom, no hand, no voice to bring me back. I cried to the ceiling, echoes in the cracks, Now I speak truth with the pain you stacked. I ain’t bitter, I’m better, I rose from the dirt, Carried every wound, yeah, I turned it into work. They say family’s forever, but you broke that word, Guess love’s just a weapon when it’s not returned. [Verse 1] Yeah, I was just a kid when you walked away, Packed your bags, left the mess, left the pain. Questions in my head that I still replay, Like, “Why’d you cut me loose, why’d you let me decay?” Mom, you were supposed to be the one I trust, Instead you left me broken in a pile of dust. Taught me that the world never cares that much, So I stitched up my wounds, learned to stand, learned to clutch. [Hook] You left me with nothing but fire inside, Tried to break me down but I won’t divide. Every scar you gave is a badge I wear, Yeah, I’m stronger now ’cause you were never there. [Verse 2] Cold nights, staring at the ceiling, Praying for a voice, some kind of healing. But silence hit harder than a beating, Had to find strength in the air I was breathing. You called it love, but the word felt fake, Every “I’ll be there” was a move you’d break. So I carved my path through the ash and quake, Turned your absence into steps that I had to take. [Hook] You left me with nothing but fire inside, Tried to break me down but I won’t divide. Every scar you gave is a badge I wear, Yeah, I’m stronger now ’cause you were never there. [Verse 3] See, I don’t need apologies, don’t need lies, Don’t need closure in your hollow eyes. I built towers out the tears I cried, Now the pain’s the engine that keeps me alive. You made a ghost where a mother should be, But I flipped the curse, made a masterpiece. You wanted me lost, but I found the key, Now the kid you abandoned is the man you see. [Verse 4] Look at me now, I’m the storm, I’m the proof, Every bar I spit is a scar and the truth. You were gasoline, I was living fuse, Now I’m lighting up the sky with the pain I use. You tried to bury me deep, but I grew, Yeah, the cracks in the dirt let the sunlight through. So thank you for the lesson, the hell, the abuse, ’Cause the weight you left made a stronger view. [Final Hook / Outro] You left me with nothing but fire inside, Tried to break me down but I won’t divide. Every scar you gave is a badge I wear, Yeah, I’m stronger now ’cause you were never there I don’t run from the dark, I embrace that fight, Turned the pain to a weapon, now I aim it right. Every wound that you gave is a stage tonight, I’m the product of the war that you sparked in spite. You tried to write me off, I rewrote the page, Broke free from the chains, now I own this cage. I’m the fire in the ashes, the storm, the rage, Your ghost made a beast that’ll never fade
