When I spoke from my heart, I was told to be still
No one asked how I hurt, no one cared how I feel
I learned young how to hide every bruise in my mind
How to smile through the pain and keep the hurt out of sight
Had two parents at home, but still felt alone
Raised in a place that never felt like home
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I lost myself
And I know it too well, don't tell
'Cause no one came to help
It's the reason I'm like this, the reason I fight it 'til this day
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I couldn't be myself
Where I couldn't be myself, mm
Now I carry those years like a weight in my chest
Every wound they ignored still lives under my skin
Sometimes, I hear their voices when I'm losing control
And I fight like hell not to let 'em take hold
'Cause I know what it does when love comes with pain
When a child feels invisible day after day
So I hold my own close when the dark starts to win
Swear, they'll never grow up doubting love again
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I lost myself
And I know it too well, don't tell
'Cause no one came to help
It's the reason I'm like this, the reason I fight it 'til this day
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I couldn't be myself
Where I couldn't be myself
Maybe I'm scarred, maybe I'm bruised
Maybe some nights I still come unglued
But every wound they left in me
Ends when my child begins to breathe
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I lost myself
And I know it too well, don't tell
'Cause no one came to help
It's the reason I'm like this, the reason I fight it 'til this day
It still hurts like hell
Farewell to a place where I couldn't be myself
