I blamed myself for years, thought I broke the fight Lost in my aunt’s house, under her spite Lies in the court, said I was the bad seed But I was just a kid, just trying to breathe Her husband’s eyes, the way he’d look at me Made my skin crawl, no one else could see I told my lawyer, but the room went cold Two and a half years, my story untold But Dad, you fought, you never gave up Even when they took me, you filled the cup You said I’m not the break, I’m the best choice The loss that made you fix, now I’ve got your voice I ran away, straight to your best friend’s door Air felt fresher than it ever had before She kept me safe, while you screamed my name Reported the truth, turned the whole game They twisted your words, said you let me fall But you saw the edge, you answered the call Six months free now, I’m not that scared girl I grew in the dark, now I’m changing the world But Dad, you fought, you never gave up Even when they took me, you filled the cup You said I’m not the break, I’m the best choice The loss that made you fix, now I’ve got your voice [Bridge] The day she said you quit, I broke in two But you knew I didn’t want that house, I wanted you You never forgot, you carried the weight That loss wasn’t losing, it was fate April 2, 2023, dropped at her gate School holidays came, but I couldn’t wait I chose the fight, I chose the run I chose you, and look what we’ve become I’m not a shadow, not the “problem child I’m the spark that made you go the extra mile You fixed what broke, because of me Now I’m standing tall, finally free Yeah Dad, you fought, you never gave up Even when they took me, you filled the cup I’m not the break, I’m your best choice The loss that made you rise, now I’ve got your voice Best choice… best choice (I’m proud of you, Dad — and you’re proud of me)
