LYRIC FOR SALE

By KerriAnne

Pre-chorus
Emotional pain, it’s hard to explain
It’s a death that comes back to life
The shadows, the voices, the limited choices
The cycle continues (the cycle continues)

Verse
Why claim to love me only to dim my light
Keeping me small, how is that love at all
The torture of your words plays over on a non-stop loop
Like your love for me was some kind of fluke
The cycle continues (the cycle continues)

Verse
How is it they know where to drive the dagger
Manipulating you into confusion and shame, why does it matter
Knowing it’s not your fault but somehow is
The depths of despair clawing for air
The cycle continues (the cycle continues)

Pre-chorus
Emotional pain, it’s hard to explain
It’s a death that comes back to life
The shadows, the voices, the limited choices
The cycle continues (the cycle continues)

Verse
It hurts so bad, I thought I worked through your meanness
Age is playing tricks with your mind
What else can we do but pretend to be kind
Even now the bitterness is in you
The cycle continues (the cycle continues)

Chorus
Emotional pain, it’s hard to explain
It’s a death that comes back to life
The shadows, the voices, the limited choices
I’m sad, I’m mad, I’m glad
Cause now I’m walking away
No longer a good little soldier, I won’t be swayed
The cycle is broken (the cycle is broken)

Verse
For the years lost to family pain with no gain
I’ll cry it out and never look back
Toxic is not for me, I’m breaking that stick
With time, it will be a memory, oh so distant
The cycle is broken (the cycle is broken)

Bridge
It doesn’t matter about the genes
This cycle is blown to smithereens
Light and freedom, the air so clean
Never again will I be controlled
My life is now in freehold

Outro
I’m turning the darkness into light
Shining ever so bright
I asked for help and got a community
Without a doubt, God sent me this opportunity
The cycle is broken

Chorus
Emotional pain, it’s hard to explain
It’s a death that comes back to life
The shadows, the voices, the limited choices
I’m sad, I’m mad, I’m glad
Cause now I’m walking away
No longer a good little soldier, I won’t be swayed
The cycle is broken
The cycle is broken

Emotional pain, it’s hard to explain
It’s a death that comes back to life
No longer a good little soldier, I won’t be swayed
I’ve broken the cycle
Broken the cycle
The cycle is broken
