Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 You spoke like you knew me Like you’d lived inside my head Like every word you gave me Was truth instead of thread You always smiled while you cut me down Said it was for my own good I held it in, I took the blame Like you always knew I would Pre-Chorus You never saw the nights All the tears I had to hide I was learning how to breathe Learning how to feel inside Chorus If I fall I rise up quietly And if I bleed I don’t show it easily I won’t shout I just learn how to grow ’Cause I’ll never become What you made of me before I’m stronger than that Can’t you see Post-Chorus Oooh… You wanted power All I needed was truth You wanted fear All I needed was proof Verse 2 I carried weight you wouldn’t hold You had control, I lost my soul You fed on doubt like winter air Every room was cold in there You picked at cracks inside my skin Called me weak, blamed everything But I see it now, I see the truth You fought the things you feared to lose Pre-Chorus You tried to make me fail Tried to make me feel small Tried to make me disappear But I’m still standing after all Chorus If I fall I rise up quietly And if I bleed I don’t show it easily I won’t shout I just learn how to grow ’Cause I’ll never become What you made of me before I’m stronger than that Can’t you see [Bridge half-spoken / intimate] I won’t wear your name On my skin And I won’t carry The shame you’re in You never learned What I did That real strength Doesn’t need to win Final Chorus If I fall I rise up quietly And if I bleed I don’t show it easily I won’t shout I just learn how to grow ’Cause I’ll never become What you made of me before I’m stronger than that Yeah, stronger than that Post-Chorus Oooh… You wanted power All I needed was truth You wanted fear All I needed was proof Outro I didn’t break I didn’t fall apart I’m more than the words You left on my heart
