Verse 1
In shadows you played your game,
I was lost, just a piece, not a name.
You pulled the strings like a puppet show,
Thought I’d rise, but it’s just for your glow.
Chorus
No longer your pawn, I’m breaking the chains,
You used me for glory, left only the stains.
I should have done better, my hearts on the floor,
While you climb your ladder, I’m searching for more
Verse 2
The other whispers, a soft, gentle shade,
A heart made of gold, while your facade began to fade.
so pure, so alive,
I let it slip through while I tried to survive.
Chorus
No longer a pawn, I’m breaking the chains
(Used for glory, left with stains/drowning in disdain)
You used me for glory, left only the stains.
I should have done better, my heart’s on the floor,
While you climb your ladder, I’m shutting the door.
Bridge
Dancing on strings, now I cut them away,
thought you were loyal, but loyalty frayed.
The spotlight will dim as I step to the side,
Finding my strength where I used to confide.
Verse 3
The woman in green shines with all of her grace,
While I'm learning to cherish my own sacred space.
So keep your ambitions, your climb to the sky,
I won’t be your pawn, I’m ready to fly.
Chorus
No longer your pawn, I’m breaking the chains,
You used me for glory, left only the stains.
I should have done better, my heart’s on the floor,
While you climb your ladder, I’m shutting the door.
Outro
No more will I cower, I’ve found my own dawn,
With strength in my heart, I’m no longer your pawn.
Your echoes may linger, but I’m moving on strong,
In the silence I've found where I truly belong.
