The name they hate (song)
[Verse 1]
I wore my cracks like lace
Smiled through the damage
You saw the wound, not me
Called it weakness, called it baggage
I learned to bite my tongue
Swallow all the fallout
Sat in the wreckage long enough
Now I know what that costs out
[Pre-Chorus]
I was the one they blamed
I was the one they broke
I kept the door wide open
While they kept adding smoke
[Chorus]
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the hurt
If they wanted a monster
I’ll give them what it’s worth
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the saint
I bled for every lesson
Now I wear the name they hate
[Verse 2]
You took and took and took
Like I was built for losing
Left me with the floorboards bare
And a heart that kept on bruising
But every scar I hide
Became a map of power
I know the shape of my own pain
I know my darkest hour
[Pre-Chorus]
I was the one they blamed
I was the one they broke
I kept the door wide open
While they kept adding smoke
[Chorus]
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the hurt
If they wanted a monster
I’ll give them what it’s worth
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the saint
I bled for every lesson
Now I wear the name they hate
[Bridge]
Don’t call it a downfall
It’s the mask I chose
I was soft and starving
Now I’m made of stone
You lit the match
Then begged me to stay
I walked out of the ashes
Not to save you anyway
[Chorus]
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the hurt
If they wanted a monster
I’ll give them what it’s worth
I’m done being the victim
I’m done being the saint
I bled for every lesson
Now I wear the name they hate
[Outro]
I wear the name they hate
I wear the name they hate
I’m not the one who broke
I’m what the breaking made
