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
