Broken Roots Lyrics

I remember the nights staring at the door

Hoping you'd come back but you never did anymore

You left me here alone in the dark

With nothing but scars and a shattered heart

You thought I'd break but you were wrong

Your absence made me fierce made me strong

So here's to you the ones who walked away

Left me in pieces but I'm okay

I'll rise above despite the pain

Your memory won't hold me in chains

Years have passed and I've grown up fast

The echoes of your leaving a ghost from the past

You took my innocence but you gave me fight

I found my own way through the darkest night

You thought I'd break but you were wrong

Your absence made me fierce made me strong

So here's to you the ones who walked away

Left me in pieces but I'm okay

I'll rise above despite the pain

Your memory won't hold me in chains

I don't need your love I don't need your lies

I've found my own truth beneath the skies

You were the storm that made me see

The strength I have inside of me

So here's to you the ones who walked away

Left me in pieces but I'm okay

I'll rise above despite the pain

Your memory won't hold me in chains

Now I'm free from the shadows you cast

I've moved on I've left you in the past

Your abandonment gave me wings to fly

And now I soar in the open sky
