Trigger

The sound of a door as it's closing
Is a thunder inside my head
The echo of words that never meant love
Still burn as if they're here again

Hands start shaking, breath runs thin
And the memory wraps around me
Like a coat I never asked for
But it clings and won't let go

It's not your fault, it never was
You don't deserve to feel this pain
Even though the world's been cruel
You're stronger than what's been done
I see you now, you're not alone

Certain scents bring the night right back
Even daylight can turn to dark
And I've learned to smile to hide it
While inside, the weight still burns

Hands start shaking, breath runs thin
And the memory wraps around me
Like a coat I never asked for
But it clings and won't let go

It's not your fault, it never was
You don't deserve to feel this pain
Even though the world's been cruel
You're stronger than what's been done
I see you now, you're not alone

One step at a time
The chains are starting to weaken
You are not what they have done
You're everything that has survived

It's not your fault, it never was
You don't deserve to feel this pain
Even though the world's been cruel
You're stronger than what's been done
I see you now, you're not alone
