Pain Don't Define Me FT Khris P. ( Shayne)

Lyrics

Shayne

(Chorus 1)

Pain don’t define me no more (no more)
I done crawled through hell, still standin’ tall (still standin’)
Every scar tell a story I survived (survived)
even when depression told me don’t try
Puff puff… deep breath… let the smoke drift slow (drift slow)
I been fightin’ demons nobody know
But I’m finally seein’ what’s inside me (inside me)
all this hurt ain’t the only thing defining me

(Verse 1 – Dark Trap Style)

Heavy bass knock while my chest cave in (808s)
flashbacks hit when the night creep in
I remember bein’ young feelin’ invisible (invisible)
house full of chaos made life miserable
Broken trust, broken glass on the floor (every night)
heard grown folks screamin’ through the door
Started thinkin’ anger was the only way to cope (only way)
started smokin’ young just to carry hope
Puff puff pssssssss (slow drag)
all them years movin’ way too fast
I lost people, lost myself, lost peace (too much)
thought pain and trauma never leave
But I’m still here after every breakdown (still here)
still breathin’ when life tried takin’ me down
And maybe survival mean more than scars (maybe)
maybe broken hearts still become stars

(Chorus 2)

I’m more than the nights I cried alone (alone)
more than the pills and the broken home
More than the anger inside my veins (my veins)
more than all them memories filled with pain
Vinyl crackle while the rain tap slow (rainfall)
late nights taught me things I ain’t know
Like hurt don’t gotta become your soul (your soul)
and damaged people still become whole

(Verse 2 – Lo-Fi Soulful Style)

Warm piano loops while I stare outside (outside)
city lights blur while emotions collide
I think about my daughters and the time I lost (Angel… Alexis…)
every bad decision came with a cost
County calls echo deep in my brain (too deep)
“Daddy when you comin’ home again?”
That pain cut sharper than any knife could (damn)
cause they deserved somebody good
I carried guilt like chains on my chest (heavy)
every sleepless night stole my rest
But lately I been tryin’ to heal slow (heal slow)
learnin’ pain ain’t all I know
Cause somebody finally looked inside me (inside me)
and saw more than scars and anxiety
And hearing “you deserve peace too” (you do)
felt like sunlight finally breakin’ through

(Chorus 3)

Pain don’t define me, it shaped my fight (my fight)
made me stronger through the darkest nights
Every wound became a lesson somehow (somehow)
look at that broken kid now
Still got storms inside my chest (inside me)
still got nights I barely rest
But I ain’t livin’ chained to yesterday (nah)
I’m finally learnin’ there’s another way

(Verse 3 – Dark Trap Style)

Sharp snares crack while I vent this pain (crack)
all these old ghosts still haunt my brain
Used to sabotage every love I touched (why?)
cause abandonment hurt too much
I pushed good women away before they left me (left me)
built walls too tall to protect me
Whole time I just wanted somebody close (close)
somebody stay when life get cold
Puff puff… exhale through the stress (through it)
fightin’ thoughts I ain’t conquered yet
But healing ain’t linear, that’s facts (real talk)
sometimes you move forward then relapse
Still I wake up and face myself daily (daily)
even when depression almost break me
Cause growth start when you stop runnin’ away (stop runnin’)
and finally confront all the pain

(Chorus 4)

Pain don’t define me no more (no more)
it just proof I survived that war
And every dark night I made it through (made it through)
turned into strength I never knew
Lo-fi rain with the bassline low (low end)
heart still hurt but my soul got hope
And if tomorrow bring another storm (another storm)
I know now my spirit strong enough for it

(Verse 4 – Lo-Fi Soulful Style)

Now the rain sound peaceful outside my room (outside)
ain’t every dark cloud mean doom
I still got scars hidden underneath skin (still there)
but they ain’t decide who I am again
I wanna teach my kids they worthy of love (worthy)
even when life get ugly and rough
Teach ‘em cryin’ don’t make you weak (facts)
teach ‘em real strength come from speakin’
Cause silence almost buried me alive (almost)
had me feelin’ like I’d never survive
But somehow I kept pushin’ through the grief (through it)
even when I barely believed in me
Now I look inside the mirror different (different)
see resilience instead of sickness
And if that younger me could hear this song (young Shayne)
he’d know pain ain’t where he belong (yeah)
