Verse 1
You spoke like you knew me inside
Your “truth” was just a place to hide
You smiled while cutting me down
Called it “honest,” but it was disguised
You don’t see the nights I held my breath
Surviving what you called “jest”
You threw your pain like it was my fault
But real strength doesn’t need assault
Pre-Chorus 1
Ooo
Every time you tried to make me feel so small
Ooo
Every time, you showed me how weak you really are
Chorus 1
Oh oh oh
If I fall, I rise without a sound
Oh oh oh
If I bleed, I don’t bleed out (I don’t bleed out)
I don’t scream, I don’t give you that (never gonna give you that)
You need power, I need truth
You need fear, and I need proof
I don’t become what you throw at me
I am stronger than you’ll ever be
Post-Chorus – restrained chant
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
You fed on doubt to feel alive
Picked at cracks just to justify
You called me weak — here’s the truth
You attack what reminds you of you
I carried what you wouldn’t face
Turned your damage into my grace
You tried to make me disappear
But I learned to stand right here
Pre-Chorus 2
You confuse being loud with being strong
I didn’t break — I learned to stand up tall
I survived what you couldn’t stop
And that’s what really hurts you now
Chorus 2
Oh oh oh
If I fall, I rise without a sound
Oh oh oh
If I bleed, I don’t bleed out (I don’t bleed out)
I don’t scream, I don’t give you that (never gonna give you that)
You need power, I need truth
You need fear, and I need proof
I don’t become what you throw at me
I am stronger than you’ll ever be
Post-Chorus – restrained chant
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
You never wanted me broken
You wanted me beneath you
But I learned something you never did
Strength isn’t taken (not taken)
Strength is surviving (just surviving)
[Drums explode, full band slams in]
[Final Chorus – BIGGEST, controlled fury]
Oh oh oh
If I fall, I rise without a sound
Oh oh oh
If I bleed, I don’t bleed out (I don’t bleed out)
I don’t scream, I don’t give you that (never gonna give you that)
You need power, I need truth
You need fear, and I need proof
I don’t become what you throw at me
I am stronger than you’ll ever be (stronger than you’ll ever be)
I am stronger than you’ll ever be
