Let him rise from the ashes
Let him see who he was meant to be
No chains, no shame, no fear anymore
Hello to who I am
Have you ever loved someone who raised a hand at you?
Cut you down with cruel words
Left you crying in the corners
Tried to hold you like a puppet
Digging through your pockets
While all you kept inside were promises he made
Have you ever loved someone who wasn’t right for you?
Tiptoeing through every conversation
Hoping love would fix the damage
But he crossed every line
And still you stayed
Nothing’s gonna break me
I’ll break free
Thought I’d never make it, but I'm standing
Swear it was killing me silently
And I didn’t see
I was sleeping with the enemy
I will never forget
If you break me
I rebuild
From this day on, you won’t lay a hand on me
Never Again (Never Again)
Have you ever loved someone who bruised your skin?
Hiding the pain under long sleeves
Numb to the hits, to the fear, to the silence
Stayed, 'cause leaving felt like dying
One in four gay men face abuse at home
But we don’t speak, ‘cause who would believe us?
No family to run to
No space to be safe
So we stay, and we fade
They say love shouldn’t hurt
But I was breaking
Just for the right to exist
Tonight, I breathe again
Tonight, I am free
And he’ll never, ever touch me again
Nothing’s gonna break me
I’ll break free
Thought I’d never make it, but I'm standing
Swear it was killing me silently
And I didn’t see
I was sleeping with the enemy
I will never forget
If you break me
I rebuild
From this day on, you won’t lay a hand on me
Never again
(Hello again to who I am)
The mirror used to show me someone I didn’t know
But now I see the fire
I see the boy who fought to grow
Said goodbye, walked away
Took a breath and found the light
(Hello again… To who I am)
Nothing’s gonna break me
I’ll break free
Thought I’d never make it, but I'm standing
Swear it was killing me silently
And I didn’t see
I was sleeping with the enemy
I will never forget
If you break me
I rebuild
From this day on, you won’t lay a hand on me
Never again
Never again
Let him rise from the ashes
Let him see who he was meant to be
No chains, no shame, no fear anymore
