Shadows of Trust

[Verse 1]
This isn't what I dreamed of (oh no)
A little girl transformed by lies
And when I look in her eyes
I see shadows, see disguise
The warnings they ignored back then
She's someone I can't defend
[Chorus]
Can't face the door, not anymore
Truth's a burden on the floor
She's gone too far, forgot the scar
But now we know who you are
[Verse 2]
Used to be my shining star (oh)
Now she's a stranger on this road
The signs all missed, the words untold
With icy hands, she took the hold
And silence echoes in the rain
Could've saved her from this pain
[Chorus]
Can't face the door, not anymore
Truth's a burden on the floor
She's gone too far, forgot the scar
But now we know who you are
[Bridge]
Memories that crash and burn
Lessons that we failed to learn
Keep her locked, and hearts so torn
Trust is lost, and bridges burned
[Chorus]
Can't face the door, not anymore
Truth's a burden on the floor
She's gone too far, forgot the scar
But now we know who you are
[Verse 3]
She played her part, hid behind her smile
Innocence lost, a long, twisted mile
With eyes so cold, I'd failed to see
The darkness creeping steadily
Reached a point of no return
Hard lessons hardest to discern
[Chorus]
Can't face the door, not anymore
Truth's a burden on the floor
She's gone too far, forgot the scar
But now we know who you are
[Verse 4]
She speaks in whispers, but the words cut deep
Promises scattered, secrets that she'll keep
Her laughter echoes, but there's no joy inside
In her eyes, the danger's wide, nowhere left to hide
[Chorus]
Can't face the door, not anymore
Trust shattered on the floor
She's gone too far, forgot the scar
And now I see who you truly are
[Bridge]
Once believed she'd come back home
Now the past's an endless tome
Tried to mend the broken path (oh no)
But shadows linger where we tread
In the house, her voice fills with dread
This empty space where we'd once laugh
[Chorus]
She's not the child I used to know
The one who'd play in winter's snow
Her heart is locked with a secret's key
Can't believe what she's come to be
[Verse 5]
Social workers spoke too late (oh)
Missed the signs that sealed her fate
