War cry

Cracked mirror, blurry eyes, that isn’t you I see
Flinching at a shadow, living on your bended knee
Used to be a queen, a fire burning bright and bold
Now you’re whispering apologies, bought and paid and sold
He built you up so high, yeah, told you, you were the one
Then chipped away, a little piece, ‘til all your power’s gone
He calls it love, controlling, but baby that’s a lie
Look in the mirror, girl, I see the strength behind your eye
This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry
Time to reclaim the power he denied
Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun
You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun
Take back your life, your body, take back control
Remember when your laughter echoed through the walls?
He silenced you, convinced you that your spirit falls
Too loud, too wild, too much, he tried to dim your light
But a diamond under pressure only shines more bright
He built you up so high, yeah, told you, you were the one
Then chipped away, a little piece, ‘til all your power’s gone
He calls it love, controlling, but baby that’s a lie
Look in the mirror, girl, I see the strength behind your eye
This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry
Time to reclaim the power he denied
Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun
You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun
Take back your life, your body, take back control
Don’t let him steal another breathe, another tear
This isn’t the ending, darling, banish all your fear
He’s just a man who’s scared of what you truly are
A supernova, waiting to ignite and go far
This isn’t a love song, this is a war cry
Time to reclaim the power he denied
Cut the chains he forged, the lies he spun
You’re a god damn warrior, the battles just begun
Take back your life, your body, take back control
Control… yeah it’s yours now.
Walk away. Stand tall. Be a queen you were born to be.
Now, go. Claim your throne.
