Recovering

**Verse 1** I grew up in a storm, with shadows at my door, Dad was lost in darkness, and Mom couldn’t take much more. You both hurt me deeply, left scars I can’t erase, I love you from a distance, but I need my own space. **Pre-Chorus** Every day I feel the ache, the pain won’t let me be, Trying to find some peace, but it’s haunting constantly. **Chorus** I love you, but I need to step away and breathe, To find a bit of solace and let my heart reprieve. Your actions cut so deeply, and it’s hard to understand, So I’m putting up a distance to reclaim who I am. **Verse 2** Dad, you drifted far, lost in your own fight, Leaving us in silence, while I struggled through the night. Mom, you turned your back, when I needed you to stay, Now I’m building my own world, finding strength in the gray. **Pre-Chorus** Every day I wrestle with the love that’s turned to pain, Seeking out a refuge from the echoes of disdain. **Chorus** I love you, but I need to step away and breathe, To find a bit of solace and let my heart reprieve. Your actions cut so deeply, and it’s hard to understand, So I’m putting up a distance to reclaim who I am. **Bridge** It’s not about the anger, or the love that’s still alive, It’s about healing wounds and finding where I thrive. Forgiveness takes its time, and healing's never clear, I need this space to grow, to face my deepest fear. **Chorus** I love you, but I need to step away and breathe, To find a bit of solace and let my heart reprieve. Your actions cut so deeply, and it’s hard to understand, So I’m putting up a distance to reclaim who I am. **Outro** I hope you see my heart, even from afar, That love still lingers softly, despite the battle scars. I’m finding my own path, and though it tears me through, This distance is a step towards healing, and loving you.
