older

### Verse 1 In the shadows of the house where I was raised, Linger ghosts of nights, when fear and anger blazed. Echoes of his shouting, like a storm that never ends, In the quiet of my solitude, the scars of time ascend. ### Chorus I’m growing older, but the pain remains the same, A broken heart, a shattered soul, with no one left to blame. In the mirror, I see shadows of the man I swore I’d never be, Caught in the darkness of a past that won’t set me free. ### Verse 2 His words, they cut like daggers, leaving wounds that never heal, Every cruel reminder, every harsh ordeal. I tried to find the sunlight, but the clouds were always there, In a life of silent suffering, beneath his icy stare. ### Chorus I’m growing older, but the pain remains the same, A broken heart, a shattered soul, with no one left to blame. In the mirror, I see shadows of the man I swore I’d never be, Caught in the darkness of a past that won’t set me free. ### Bridge Now the years have taken over, and the memories still sting, The ghost of his presence, an ever-haunting ring. I fight to break the cycle, to live a life that's mine, But his shadow's always lurking, across the boundary line. ### Chorus I’m growing older, but the pain remains the same, A broken heart, a shattered soul, with no one left to blame. In the mirror, I see shadows of the man I swore I’d never be, Caught in the darkness of a past that won’t set me free. ### Outro In the silence of the evening, as the night begins to fall, I whisper to the darkness, hoping it hears my call. Though I’m growing older, still the wounds are deep and true, Living in the shadow of a father I never knew.
