Always to blame

[Verse 1]
Since childhood they told me: “Be quiet, be mild,
Don’t be selfish — be humble, obedient, child.
Live with no feelings, no faith in your name,
And break behind smiles in the mask of their “grace.”

I bent under stares that were colder than ice,
In others’ demands I erased my own life.
But bow as you want — it is never enough,
I’m guilty for breathing, for just being “wrong.”

[Chorus]
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection,
Burning myself for their false expectations.
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night,
At last I have chosen to live as my light.

[Verse 2]
I’ve grown — and I know that I don’t owe you all,
Not your toy, not your model, not slave to your call.
I’ve burned every pattern, I’ve thrown out the lies,
Now each step I’m taking is mine, not for praise.

You faded in daylight, I hid in the dark,
But there in the silence I found my own spark.
And suddenly you came to me drawn by the flame,
The moment I stopped playing into your game.

[Chorus]
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection,
Burning myself for their false expectations.
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night,
At last I have chosen to live as my light.

[Verse 3]
You’re wearing your masks, but I see who you are,
You’re playing at “friendship” — I don’t need the scar.
No longer I fear your condemnations, hate,
I’ve stepped from the shadows, I’ve broken your cage.

I read in your eyes like a book full of lies,
Where truth disappears and deception survives.
My power is patience, not fury, not rage,
I’ve taken the lesson, I’ve turned my own page.

[Final Chorus]
I won’t be living as someone’s reflection,
Burning myself for their false expectations.
I’m breaking my chains — farewell to the night,
At last I have chosen to live as my light.

I’m not in your fashion, I’ll stand on my own,
I’m not just a shadow, I’m flesh, blood and bone.
And even with scars on a true, honest face,
I’ve found my freedom — myself I embrace.
