Rielle - Unseen Lyrics

Hiding deep within my skin
Shadows of your words etched beneath my grin
Tried to be the one you needed me to be
While self-doubt whispered endlessly
Searched for your love through hollow eyes
You poured salt on wounds from younger cries
You loved my body, while my heart you compromised
Took from me and never gave back
Left me begging for love, stuck in a flashback
Now I see the truth, I'm breaking free
No longer chained by what you wanted me to believe
I'm more than just what you convinced me to see
I deserve love for who I am, for being the real me
My heart's screams drowned out by silence
Wrapped in your arms, it felt so wrong
Never heard my own heart's song
In a place where my true self didn't belong
Now I see the truth, I'm breaking free
No longer chained by what you wanted me to believe
I'm more than just what you convinced me to see
I deserve love for who I am, for being the real me
You never saw me, just the surface you craved
Too scared to be vulnerable, never tried to be brave
You loved what you could take, not who I am inside
Hid away my truth while you took what you liked
I can't reclaim the years you stole
All that time spent playing your role
I'm not broken; I never was the flaw
Just caught in the lie... but now I see it all
Now I see the truth, I'm breaking free
No longer chained by what you wanted me to believe
I'm more than just what you convinced me to see
I deserve love for who I am, for being the real me
