Held Against Your Will

Verse 1
You said the walls were closing in
But I saw you build them brick by brick
Every promise had a hidden pin
Every smile was another trick

Pre‑Chorus
You kept the keys in your clenched-up fist
Calling it love, but it felt like a twist
I learned the truth in the cold and the still
You held me down just to test my will

Chorus
Held against your will, but I’m breaking through
You can cage the body, not the point of view
You tried to bend my spine until it snapped
But I’m walking out with my freedom intact

Verse 2
You rewrote every line I spoke
Turned my doubts into your favorite joke
Told me I’d fall if I ever left
Funny how you fear the ones you can’t possess

Pre‑Chorus
You kept the keys in your clenched-up fist
Calling it love, but it felt like a twist
I learned the truth in the cold and the still
You held me down just to test my will

Chorus
Held against your will, but I’m breaking through
You can cage the body, not the point of view
You tried to bend my spine until it snapped
But I’m walking out with my freedom intact

Bridge
No more shadows on my name
No more guilt you try to frame
I’m done shrinking just to fit your mold
I’m done being quiet, I’m done being controlled

Final Chorus
Held against your will, but I’m done with fear
Every step I take, the exit’s getting clear
You tried to crush the fire in my chest
But I’m rising up, and I won’t regress
