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
