[Verse 1] I don’t have my full heart to give, You still hold half, I never got it back. And what’s left, I don’t own anymore— It’s buried in despair, painted black. Who owns a heart that’s cracked in two? Is it love or is it just a lie we drew? Is it God, is it me, is it you? No one tells you what a soul goes through.

[Pre-Chorus] They draw hearts on cards ‘cause a brain’s too real, And no one can sketch the way a spirit feels. You can’t gift a heart like a trinket or stone, But you can give someone courage when they feel alone.

[Chorus] So who owns the pain when the silence screams? Who owns the love in shattered dreams? Half of me’s gone and half of me’s numb, But I still bleed truth when the liars come. You were the thief, I was the flame, Burned out trying to carry your name. But God owns the heart, and He lent it to me, So I’ll keep half, and set the other half free.

[Verse 2] Silence ain’t peace—it’s the echo of fear, It grows like cancer when no one hears. It’s what makes cowards, it fuels abuse, It’s the noose of the innocent, tight and loose. They say be quiet, be kind, be still— But silence lets others bend you to their will. I won’t be still, I won’t sit down, Not when the weight of truth could drown.

[Bridge 1 – Spoken word rhythm under melody] I won’t say she’s kind—I only saw her masks. Two-faced, double-tongued, hiding from the facts. One mask lies to you, the other lies to God, And you believed her when she made me the fraud. She pushed me out—your kids, your past— Wiped me clean like I was never meant to last. She names people like pawns in a game, But forgets every mirror reflects the same.

[Pre-Chorus] Some hearts overflow, some just absorb, Some people lie just to feel adored. Hollow souls in empty skins, Still reaching out just to pull others in.

[Chorus] So who owns the pain when the silence screams? Who owns the love in shattered dreams? Half of me’s gone and half of me’s numb, But I still bleed truth when the liars come. You were the thief, I was the flame, Burned out trying to carry your name. But God owns the heart, and He lent it to me, So I’ll keep half, and set the other half free.

[Bridge 2 – Vulnerable drop] You can feel broken and still wear a smile, Stand tall with a soul that’s been burning awhile. I gave you my truth, I gave you my best, You answered in silence, betrayal, and tests. But I won’t hate her, I won’t hate you, Even if I never find my way through. Forgiveness ain’t easy, but I still try, ‘Cause love is the lesson, not the lie.

[Final Chorus – Lifted vocals, full instrumentation] So who owns the pain when the silence screams? Who owns the love in broken dreams? Half of me’s scarred, but half of me’s grace, And both of them carry your ghost in their place. You were the lesson, not the prize, I see the truth when I close my eyes. God owns the heart, and He lent it to me, So I’ll keep half… and let the rest be free.

[Outro – Whispered or soft repeat] Let it be free… Let it be free..
