Half of Me

Yeah…

I gave too much, you gave too little,

Now I’m back in the middle—of my own damn peace.

You had me second-guessin’ every move I made,

Walkin’ on glass just to keep you safe.

You fed my doubts, made me feel misplaced,

But I’m done beggin’ for a love that breaks.

I used to cry in the mirror at night,

Now I look and see the fire in my eyes.

You can’t kill what’s meant to rise,

I’m done apologizin’ for my shine.

You can’t steal what’s already divine,

Baby, I was gold before you were mine.

I’ll never let a weak love break my crown again,

Never let a small man dim my shine within.

You had me twisted, but now I see,

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

No, not again—

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

I built your dreams while you tore down mine,

Lost my light tryna make you shine.

But heartbreak taught me where I stand,

I’m not your shadow, I’m the brand.

Now I’m walkin’ taller in my skin,

Ain’t no woman here that needs to pretend.

Your words were cheap, but my peace is rare,

And I found myself when you weren’t there.

You can’t steal what’s already divine,

Baby, I was gold before you were mine.

I’ll never let a weak love break my crown again,

Never let a small man dim my shine within.

You had me twisted, but now I see,

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

No, not again—

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

[Bridge] (Spoken / melodic)

You said I was crazy,

I say I was healing.

You called it attitude,

I call it feelin’.

I found my truth, I found my peace,

And baby, that don’t include you with me.

Never again (nah), never again (yeah)

Took my power back, I’m better within.

Never again (no), never again (yeah)

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

I’ll never let a weak love break my crown again,

Never let a small man dim my shine within.

You had me twisted, but now I see,

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

I’m whole, I’m light, I’m finally free—

You can’t make me feel less than half of me.

Yeah, I’m done beggin’ for what I bleed.

You can’t make me feel less…

You can’t make me feel less than me.
