Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I’ve rehearsed this in my head Every word I never said Bit my tongue until it bled Smiled like I believed it Kept my name off every line Sat in corners Kept in time Let the fear redraw my spine Shrank so I could keep you quiet [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a tremor in my hands now Yeah I can feel it All the silence that I swallowed I’m done I’m done with it [Chorus] This is the day I stop running Feet on the ground Heart like a drum that keeps coming Louder than doubt I’m gonna stand where I’m shaking Right in the sound This is the choice that I’m making I won’t back down This is the day I stop running I’m standing now [Verse 2] Every “sorry” on my lips Was a chain around my wrists Every room I tried to fit Left me smaller in the mirror All the times I let it slide Let the hurt just pass me by Now the anger and the pride Are a fire in my ribcage Clearer [Pre-Chorus] I hear my heartbeat in the hallway Calling my name All the times I almost spoke up Burn in my veins [Chorus] This is the day I stop running Feet on the ground Heart like a drum that keeps coming Louder than doubt I’m gonna stand where I’m shaking Right in the sound This is the choice that I’m making I won’t back down This is the day I stop running I’m standing now [Bridge] I was scared of the breaking Scared of the fall But losing myself Was the worst loss of all So here in the open I’m drawing the line If I stand here alone At least the voice is mine (oh, it’s mine) [Chorus] This is the day I stop running Feet on the ground Heart like a drum that keeps coming Louder than doubt I’m gonna stand where I’m shaking Right in the sound This is the choice that I’m making I won’t back down This is the day I stop running This is the day I stop running This is the day I stop running I’m standing now
