[Verse 1:]

My whole life I kept a secret, I never told a single soul

Thought that it was weakness if I let myself become exposed

I never said a word, always kept my pain silent

But deep inside my heart and soul, I could hear the sirens

Yeah, I could hear the sirens

I was crying out for help within my own confinement

Many years passed, and to this day I'm still reminded

That I was betrayed by someone who I should confide in

I was just a child

And early on I was exposed to a world so vile

Took my smile, took my innocence, and left me stranded

In denial that this incident was just imagined

But it wasn't

I wished these words I speak were due to a lack of judgement

It's hard for me to function when my past is still alive today

I wish this was a dream, but it's not, I'm wide awake

These memories might be the death of me

I can't believe you took the rest of me

But I forgive you for molesting me

Just know you fucked me up and left a scar mentally...

[Chorus:]

Take my hands, don't let go

The pain I hide won't let show

Take my heart, set me free

All these scars left me weak

Take my hands, don't let go

The pain I hide won't let show

Take my heart, set me free

All these scars left me weak

I feel so weak

Set me free

Please set me free

[Verse 2:]

Can't you see you stole my childhood and left me traumatised?

So much hate and self-destruction, like a bomb's inside

No, I cannot lie, I often wanna die

And if love is real, why is love so hard to find? (Why is love so hard to find?)

Why is love so hard to find?

Cause the only love I once knew caught me blind

I was only nine when you chose to take advantage

The temporary pleasure left me permanently damaged

But regardless, I won't let your lifeless acts of cruelty turn me heartless

I can promise you one day I'll rise

I might be sinking now, but karma's gonna turn the tides

Take a look into my eyes and don't forget this image

Now take a deeper look inside and see what you've inflicted

All the sorrow I've kept hidden here is now forbidden

And I refuse to keep on suffering from your decisions

And although I cannot erase these acts that you've committed

I know my heart will surely mend through faith and be uplifted

And I will smile again, go ahead and mark my words

You see, a flower only blossoms if it grows through dirt

Although it hurts, I must confront you and no longer run

Although it hurts, I do forgive you for the things you've done

I know my worth and I will search until I find the sun

And let this story symbolise the way my life begun

But my story is so far from over

I closed that chapter in my life and finally gave it closure

I said my story is so far from over

I'm no longer looking back, I must keep moving forward...

[Chorus:]

Take my hands, don't let go

The pain I hide won't let show

Take my heart, set me free

All these scars left me weak

Take my hands, don't let go

The pain I hide won't let show

Take my heart, set me free

All these scars left me weak

I feel so weak

Set me free

Please set me free
