Goodbye Inner Child 💔

For every woman forced to give up her Inner Child, NEVER getting her back... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lyrics: ~~~~~~~~~ [Verse 1] There's a photograph I keep folded in my chest Where a ghost of a child smiles, thinking she's blessed With a birthday candle burning in January Before the smoke turned to something like a wound She used to make castles out of cardboard dreams Thought the world was softer than it seemed I'd tuck her in with promises of safety But I burned that blanket, burned it all away [Pre-Chorus] So here's what I learned when the lights went out Some doors don't lock from the inside; there's no getting out And the thing that took her didn't knock; it just walked in With a smile like winter and a voice like sin [Chorus] Goodbye, Inner Child I killed you soft, and I killed you kind You held my hand through the dark of it all But you're not walking out, you're not walking out alive Goodbye, Inner Child I'm burying your name in the snow Where nothing grows, where nothing grows [Verse 2] I remember the exact shade of the sky The day my body learned that love could lie Every corner of my childhood home Became a room I had to learn to roam The toys are still in boxes in the attic now But I never went back to take them out Some things you don't unlearn, some doors don't close I'm still standing on the ashes of my ghost [Bridge] You want to know the worst part? I still remember how they smelled Like cigarettes and something sweet And said, "This will be our secret." Like that was somehow tender Like that was something to keep I was seven I was seven years old And nobody came When I learned what gold Can buy from a child What a child will give When no one is watching When no one believes [Chorus] Goodbye, Inner Child I killed you soft, and I killed you kind You held my hand through the dark of it all But you're not walking out, you're not walking out alive Goodbye, Inner Child I'm burying your name in the snow Where nothing grows, where nothing grows [Bridge 2] I keep a list of all the things I never got to be The teenager who fell in love messily The woman who might have trusted someone else's arms But you took that from me, you took all of it And I— I don't know how to hold a hand without bracing for pain I don't know how to sleep without checking the lock again I'm twenty-four years old, and I'm still that child Waiting for someone to open the door Waiting for someone to save her [Final Chorus] GOODBYE, LITTLE GIRL I killed you soft, and I killed you kind You held my hand through the dark of it all AND YOU'RE NOT WALKING OUT, YOU'RE NOT WALKING OUT ALIVE GOODBYE, LITTLE GIRL I'm burying your name in the snow WHERE NOTHING GROWS, WHERE NOTHING GROWS [Outro] There's a woman in the mirror now With armor made of all the things I learned to allow She's not soft, she's not kind, she's not yours She will never be that girl again And that girl is gone, that girl is gone That girl is gone, that girl is gone I'm sorry I couldn't save you I'm sorry I had to let you go To survive… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Original Lyrics by Aurora Dust-Wulf AI-generated by the Suno AI app
