True story

[Intro]
Yeah, this is a true story, about you and me
Lessons learned, scars earned, now I finally see

[Verse 1]
They said I wouldn’t make it, whispers in the dark
But I carried hope, fierce fire in my heart
You told me I’d fail, said I’d never be enough
Now look at me standing tall, rising above

[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing through the pain, I turned doubts into fuel
From shadows of doubt, I broke every rule
Your words were a chain, but I broke free
Now I’m shining brighter, for all to see

[Chorus]
Just look at me now, I proved you wrong
Stronger than ever, where I belong
Ha ha ha, I laugh after them, yeah
I’m proud of what I’ve become, I’m standing strong
Better than the rest, I’ve righted my wrongs
Just look at me now, I moved along

[Bridge]
Wiser with time, learned to forgive
If you can’t say something good, better not to say it at all
Respect and growth, that’s my new call
From pain to power, I stand tall

[Outro]
This is a true story, about you and me
From shadows to sunlight, I finally see
Ha ha ha, I laugh after them, yeah
Just look at me now, chained no more, I’m free
