Wreckage Behind Me

Verse 1

Your shadow wore a lover’s face,

Your kindness came with chains.

You turned my home to haunted ground

And called the ghosts by my name.

The walls still hold the echoes,

The floor remembers every fall—

But I’m done mistaking fear

For the sound of love at all.

Pre-Chorus

The storm can keep what it destroyed.

I’m taking back my voice.

Chorus

I’m walking out through the wreckage,

Through the salt and the smoke.

You were never my shelter—

You were the storm that broke.

I’ll love the heart you tried to bury,

I’ll let the dead past lie.

The monster stays behind me.

I’m alive—and I’m mine.

Verse 2

There’s a shipwreck in the silence,

Black waves around the shore.

Your promises are splintered wood

I won’t rebuild anymore.

I used to search the darkness

For the person you pretended to be;

Now I see the truth beneath the mask—

And I choose to set me free.

Pre-Chorus

The tide can take your calling name.

I’m not going back again.

Chorus

I’m walking out through the wreckage,

Through the salt and the smoke.

You were never my shelter—

You were the storm that broke.

I’ll love the heart you tried to bury,

I’ll let the dead past lie.

The monster stays behind me.

I’m alive—and I’m mine.

Bridge

I gather every broken piece,

Not to become who I was then—

But to build a life where fear can’t reach

The places I have been.

Let the waves erase your footprints.

Let the blackened sky turn blue.

I survived the thing that wore your face—

Now I choose what I become.

Final Chorus

I’m walking out through the wreckage,

With the dawn against my skin.

You were never my forever—

You were where my fight began.

I’ll love the heart you tried to bury,

I won’t mourn your disguise.

The monster stays behind me.

I’m alive—and I’m mine.

Outro

No turning back.

No looking down.

I leave your wreckage

To the waves that drowned it out.
