What Will I Leave Behind by Sabrina Thorne [Verse 1] I left lipstick on a glass they never cleaned My voice on a tape they were too scared to keep I broke their silence like a stained-glass scream They called me a moment But I was the dream [Verse 2] I wrote my name in ash on every street Lit the night with secrets I never repeat They tried to box me, bury the spark But I bloom in ruins I glow in the dark [Pre-Chorus] And when they say, she’s long forgotten Play this track and feel me watching [Chorus] What will I leave behind? A burn they didn’t see in time A song too raw to sterilize A truth with teeth, a smile with knives Not a statue, not a shrine— Just the echo that survived That’s what I’ll leave behind [Verse 3] I kissed like endings, danced like war Loved too hard and asked for more I made them feel, then let them freeze You don’t forget a girl like me [Bridge] So when the curtain falls too fast And they script me in their past They’ll find my shadow in their rhyme Uninvited, but divine [Final Chorus] What will I leave behind? A scar dressed up in red design An ache they hum when love gets cruel A flame that rewrites every rule No monument in marble white— Just the fire they feared at night That's what I’ll leave behind [Outro – whispered] I was never meant to fade I was the storm they couldn’t cage
