➥ Lyrics
[Verse]
Just like that, I’m 8 years old
I’m paying for your mistakes, still paying for ‘em
It takes me back, I’m all alone
With people talking round me, only talking
I’m in that house that’s not a home
There is no escape no running from it
I was so young when my mind grew cold

[Chorus]
You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls they’re never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

[Verse]
I see a sorry on your face
I never heard the words though, never heard ‘em
I hear regret in the way you pray
I don’t know who’s listening, I just don’t
You’re crying for your mistakes, crying from the blame
Crying for the past you let get away
You’re trying, I’m trying but when it mattered you didn’t change

[Chorus]
You tore me up and broke me down
You chewed me up and spat me out
I built my walls they’re never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

[Bridge]
My memories on rewind, I’m learning how to be alright
I got my suitcase at the door, I’m going through
My failures on the desk and my regret spilled on the floor
But I don’t live here anymore, yeah I am through

[Chorus]
You tore me up and you broke me down
You chewed me up and you spat me out
I built my walls and they’re never coming down
I hang up your photo on every new fracture

[Verse]
Just like that, I’m 8 years old
I’m paying for your mistakes, still paying for ‘em

  • My sweet Riell ❣️ beautiful song though I think we heal through this music, i know i do! It allows me to get those feelings flowing, the ones I never let anyone see. Getting it out really helps. Know you are always loved Riell ❤️💖🐈🐾
  • You know, i've been a lover of your songs for so long! You are my biggest idol and hearing this song just breaks my heart. When I was younger than 8, my dad was physically abusive to me and my family. He would throw glass bottles in my face and slap me and punch me if I made the slightest mistake. When I was 8, my parents divorced and shared a 50/50 custody, when I went back to his house he was smoking and drinking constantly, eventually he stopped being violent and just became verbally and emotionally abusive. For years, he'd tell me the worst shit and give me panic attacks and trauma. When I first heard your songs, I was still living with him and I was in an emo era ngl. Your music helped me understand who I am and has given me an outlet. I admire you so much and I appreciate how wonderful you are! Now, i'm in college and living with my mom when i'm out of school. He constantly texts and emails me about how much he misses me and how i'll never make it in the real world without him, he tells me i'm lazy and gluttonous, but I've just chosen to Burn Our Bridges Down ;) because All I Know is that i'm Better Off without that douchebag. I go to therapy weekly and am talking though every damn issue with my therapist lol. I want you to know that your song is beautiful, you are a work of art: a diamond in the rough. The way you portray your emotions through lyrics and melodies is incredible. You're a beautiful human being and I hope you're able to keep going even when it gets tough. We all love you so much, thank you for sharing your story, it's so brave of you! ❤
  • I was eight years old when I developed severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. My parents didn't support me and made me feel like a freak. I feel every single line of your song. Thank you for your wonderful work ❤❤❤
  • @lillyisle
    This is a lovely song RIELL ♥️♥️
  • Truly thought I'd already commented on this video! Whoops 😅 As always, gorgeous vocals and those runs are heavenly! I've said it before: this song hits me so hard because I relate to every word. I was abused by my mother pretty much from the start, but the worst of it started after she imploded her second marriage when I was 8 years old. There was no warning for me, no build up. One morning the only parent figure that ever truly showed me love was simply gone and my mother was so wrapped up in herself that she didnt even notice that I thought he left because I was unloveable. I became an emotional crutch for her through the separation she had caused. I loved my mother despite all the pain she caused me and never heard a single sorry for how she treated me. I tried as an adult to address the pain and behaviour and she refused to acknowledge that she even needed to change. So I left her behind. Its been 5 years since I cut contact and even now I'm still having to work through the baggage. Truly, this song straight up catapulted me right back into being 8 years old again, desperately trying to make my mother stop crying while I shoved my own pain deep down like it wasnt important.
  • I absolutely LOVE the way you changed a bit the music to be somehow melancolic and so beautifull. Its so nice to listen to and its the perfect song to listen to while thinking of childhood. Amazing!!!!
  • Lovely. Your lyrics always have bite, Riell, and this video is different in a good way.
  • @apowergso
    I find this song so relatable and comforting. Thank you RIELL. Will definitely listen to this nonstop. 😃
  • Jamais déçu par RIELL. Belle interprétation avec la superbe voix de RIELL.
  • Your voice is amazing, this song it amazing, all of your songs are amazing! Why is the woman not famous????
  • 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Magnífica interpretação. Sua voz é esplêndida! Amei!!
  • I really love this song and this also makes me feel sad but beautiful song RIELL! 🩵💙🩵💙
  • When I was eight years old it was over my life was a nightmare my parents any time I cried they told me I was dramatic I don’t cry anymore I was told it made me weak at some point in time I realized I trapped myself I blamed myself for them hurting me my head was filled with blame everything was my fault I was a failure no one cared everyone left me the ignored me I WAS the outcast I was not important they told me that ever day I was reminded that I meant nothing I was useless I was trash I had to learn how to be happy I had to try to not feel nothing I had to learn how to live with them blaming me the chewing me out them getting mad at me I made walls that no one could penetrate I had to deal with it alone because saying something was like my parents yelling at me I was a person that eating foods that I didn’t like upset my stomach I would throw up most nights but not tell them they got mad when I had a panic attack my sister if she doesn’t like something we won’t eat it if I like it who cares she’s more important their perfect golden child. Sorry if this is long hope it didn’t bother you if you relate I care about you and love you don’t die please don’t leave I care I will listen you have my heart and my ears
