Lyric

Mama, can you hear me through the noise?

Walking through the school halls

Losing my voice

He swore he loved me

Whispered sweet and low

Then took his promises to girls

I used to know

I told him “No”

“My heart ain't for your game”

Now group chat screens are

Burning up my name

They spread the rumors

Painting me a lie

Underneath the shadow of a digital sky

I keep on screaming

“That is not my truth!”

But nobody’s listening

In this crowded youth

It’s a modern curse

They look right through my face

Left me so lonely in this heavy place

Oh, poor little Cassandra

Let them talk their talk

I believe you, darling

Watch me as I walk right by side

Through the pouring rain

Together we are bigger than their foolish game

Oh, sweet little Cassandra

When the world goes cold

You’ve got a truth that

Never will be sold

Even if they leave you let the shadows fall

You’ve got my hand

And we will stand up tall

Every notification feels like a stone

Staring at my phone

But I am not alone

They choose the fiction over who I am

Trapped inside the judgment of a silver screen dam

But Mama said

My sunlight is too bright to hide

I won’t let their bitter words change what’s inside

I wanted honest love

Not a twisted trend

Now I’m learning how to rise up at the end

This world is wider than these crowded halls

As someday you’ll smile as the empire falls

It’s real hearts will find you

Beautiful and free

Loving every piece of who you’re meant to be

Oh, brave little Cassandra

Lift your eyes and see

There’s a sun rising on your destiny

The road is heavy and the climb is tough

But who you are will always be enough

Oh, sweet little Cassandra

Let the rumors fade

Look at the beautiful soul that we made

Someone will love you with a heart so true

Until that day I’m holding onto you

Don’t cry, little Cassandra

Your heart’s gonna be alright

The night won't last forever

Yeah, we found the light
