Lies we were told

You taught us young to guard your lies To keep the truth from prying eyes Secrets whispered, forced to obey, carrying your Guilt every day I never understood the games you played, the webs of Deceit, the truths you betrayed As a child, I learned to fear, the rage you'd unleash If I came near Why did you teach me to live in the dark, to hide the Truth and bury my heart? I was a child, caught in your storm, a pawn in The chaos you made the norm Now I see through the lies and shame, I'll break free I won't play your game You said it was fine, you justified, but told me to keep It all inside Sneaking away to meet your man, while I held my Silence, tried to understand Don't tell your father, don't let him see, the secrets That tore apart our family I felt his pain, though I said no word, caught in the Silence, never heard Why did you teach me to live in the dark, to hide The truth and bury my heart? I was a child, caught in your storm, a pawn in The chaos you made the norm Now I see through the lies and shame, I'll break free I won't play your game Your rage, your fear, your twisted rules, turned love Into a weapon, made us your tools You made me lie, you made me choose, in your broken World, I was meant to lose But I won't carry your sins anymore, I'm breaking the Cycle, I'm slamming the door The truth will shine, the darkness fade, I'll leave behind The mess you made Why did you teach me to live in the dark, to hide The truth and bury my heart? I was a child, caught in your storm, a pawn in The chaos you made the norm Now I see through the lies and shame, I'll break free I won't play your game The lies we were told, the secrets we kept, the tears In silence, the nights we wept But I've found my voice, I've found my name, and I'll Never be a part of your game Why did you teach me to live in the dark, to hide the Truth and bury my heart? I was a child, caught in your storm, a pawn in the chaos You made the norm Now I see through the lies and shame, I'll break free-I Won't play your game The lies we were told, the secrets we kept, the tears In silence, the nights we wept But I found my voice, I've found my name And I'll never be a part of your game.
