[Verse 1]
Used to keep my voice on quiet
Kept the truth behind my teeth
Said “I’m fine” like I rehearsed it
Till I didn’t know my needs
Wrote my worries in the margins
On receipts and in my phone
Every promise that I buried
Turned into a stepping stone
[Chorus]
I’m stronger and free
Can’t crush what’s made of concrete
I broke every chain they wrapped around me
I’m stronger and free
Heart loud where my doubt used to be
You won’t see me crawling back down on my knees
I’m stronger and free (yeah)
Stronger and free
[Verse 2]
Now I walk in like I own it
But I still remember pain
Every tear became a lesson
Every loss rewired my brain
Talked to shadows in my bedroom
Now the sun’s inside my chest
If the past comes back to haunt me
Tell it I’ve already left
[Chorus]
I’m stronger and free
Can’t crush what’s made of concrete
I broke every chain they wrapped around me
I’m stronger and free
Heart loud where my doubt used to be
You won’t see me crawling back down on my knees
I’m stronger and free (oh)
Stronger and free
[Bridge]
Used to fear my own reflection
Now I meet her like a friend (like a friend)
Every scar another sentence
In a story that won’t end
If you’re still stuck in the silence
You can sing along with me (with me)
We were never made for cages
We were made to rise and breathe
[Chorus]
I’m stronger and free
Can’t crush what’s made of concrete
I broke every chain they wrapped around me
I’m stronger and free
Heart loud where my doubt used to be
You won’t see me crawling back down on my knees
I’m stronger and free (yeah)
Stronger and free
