[Intro]
I've been strong all along, I don't need to hear your doubt
[Verse 1]
Walking alone, on this road I've paved myself
Every step I took, I didn't ask for help
You say I need you, but I know my worth
Standing tall, breaking free, since the day of my birth
[Pre-Chorus]
No more chains, no more fuss
I've survived, I don't need your fuss
Your words, they fall on deaf ears
I've been tough for all these years
[Chorus]
You're just a waste of time, a shadow in my light
I can do it all myself, I’ve fought through every night
No need for your hand, I’ve earned every scar
Standing on my own, I’ve come so far
[Bridge]
Watch me rise, I don’t owe you my pride
Built my own sky, with no tears I’ve cried
Say what you will, it won't change my mind
I’m my own hero, no less, no more, just fine
[Outro]
So go ahead, keep talking, but I’ll stand tall and proud
I’ve proved to myself, I don’t need anyone around
