Yeah, yeah
Heartstrings frayed, they don't know my fight
Caught in a world where wrong feels right
They see the surface, but I'm barely whole
Every step forward takes a piece of my soul
Every day's a war between me and their stares
They strip me down, but I'm still standing there
Questions hit harder than fists ever could"Why change the frame?" they never understood
They see the loss
Not the life that I gained
But inside, it's a storm
I can barely contain
I wear my truth, though it's heavy to bear
A reflection of someone who's finally there
Every glance feels like a loaded gun
But I can't take back
What's done is done
I'm not the person they thought I'd be
But I found myself when I set myself free
Heartstrings pull, but I won't let go
This journey is mine, no matter how slow
They can't love what they don't understand
But I'll hold myself with my
Trembling hands
I still hear their voices, sharp as a blade
Cutting me down for the choices I've made
They call it a phase, but it's all I've ever known
This body's a house
But I made it my home
Sometimes I wonder if I made it worse
Trading old wounds for a different curse
Freedom's a burden they don't talk about
It's hard to stand tall when consumed by doubt
The mirror's my witness, my worst enemy
It shows the cracks no one else can see
I'm fighting for air in a world that won't breathe
But this is the life I was destined to lead
Heartstrings pull, I'm barely intact
They don't see the pain or the strength I lack
Fought through the fire just to feel alive
But every step forward feels like
I've died
Heartstrings pull, but I won't let go
This journey is mine, no matter how slow
They can't love what they don't understand
But I'll hold myself with my trembling hands
My pain remains
Rising above
But bound by chains
They see the fight
But not what it cost
Every small victory
Feels like a loss
The rhythm changes
But my heart
Stays numb
