Verse 1

Once there was a place where the daylight stayed

Where names weren’t carved into shallow graves

We ran through fields we thought would last

Didn’t know joy was built on glass

I watched the sky begin to tear

Heaven cracked, nobody cared

They called it fate, they called it law

But I remember how it was before the fall

Pre-Chorus

You say I changed, you say I’m wrong

But you weren’t there when hope was gone

Chorus

So don’t you look at me like I’m the curse

When I’m the one who carried it first

I stood my ground when the world broke in

I lost my name but I didn’t bend

Say what you want, I’m still standing here

Built from scars, not built from fear

If this is Forsaken, then let it be spoken—

I’m not destroyed.

I’m left unbroken.

Verse 2

Crowns were forged from broken trust

Promises turned into rust

They drew the lines, they picked the side

Then blamed me when the truth survived

I hear your voice inside my head

Asking if I’d choose it again

If holding on was worth the flame

If saving us meant taking blame

Pre-Chorus

I won’t pretend I’m innocent

But I won’t drown in punishment

Chorus

So don’t you look at me like I’m the curse

When I’m the one who carried it first

I stood my ground when the world broke in

I lost my name but I didn’t bend

Say what you want, I’m still standing here

Built from scars, not built from fear

If this is Forsaken, then let it be spoken—

I’m not destroyed.

I’m left unbroken.

Bridge

You wanted silence — I gave you truth

You wanted power — I gave you proof

If monsters rise from what you make

Don’t ask who paid for your mistakes

I won’t kneel

I won’t fade

I won’t be erased

Final Chorus (bigger, louder)

So don’t you look at me like I’m the curse

When I’m the one who carried it first

Let the sky fall, let the records spin

History lies — I remember when

Say what you want, I’m still standing here

Built from scars, not built from fear

If this is Forsaken, then let it be spoken—

I’m not destroyed.

I’m left unbroken.

Outro

Call me lost.

Call me wrong.

But I’m still here…

And I’m moving on.
