Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – quiet piano] Mm… They say I’m strong… But they don’t know why. [Verse 1] People say “you’re strong,” like it’s a gift, Like I woke up wanting all of this. But strength was something I had to learn When every bridge began to burn. No one there to hold my hand, So I had to learn to stand. They say “look how far you’ve come, girl” — But they don’t know the cost, girl. [Pre-Chorus] Every night I told myself There was no one else. If I didn’t face the world, Who would save this girl? [Chorus] Carrying storms inside my chest, Learning how to never rest. Every tear I had to hide, Every door I closed inside. Holding up this heavy world… ’Cause… I’m a big girl. [Post-Chorus – slowed] Even when my hands still shake, Even when my heart might break… I keep standing in this world… ’Cause… I’m a big girl. [Verse 2] I learned silence, learned control, How to carry every role. Smiling like it doesn’t hurt, Even when it’s getting worse. People cheer the way I rise, They don’t see the tired eyes. Growing up before your time Leaves a shadow in the shine. [Pre-Chorus 2] Every fall I faced alone, (mm…) Built a heart of stone. (yeah…) If I didn’t face the world, (who would?) Who would save this girl? (save me…) [Chorus 2] Balancing the weight I hold, (oh…) Trying not to lose my soul. (don’t lose it) Every night I push ahead, (keep going…) Even when I’m full of dread. (mm…) Holding up this fragile world… (this world…) ’Cause… I’m a big girl. (yeah…) [Post-Chorus – slow, emotional] Even when the night feels long, (so long…) Even when I don’t feel strong… (not strong…) Still I’m standing in this world… (standing…) ’Cause… I’m a big girl. (I guess I am…) [Bridge – soft] Maybe one day I’ll rest my heart, (someday…) Lay this armor down in the dark. (let it fall…) Maybe one day I’ll finally be Just a girl… not what they need. (just me…) Ohhhhhh woahhhhh ahhhhh [Final Chorus – bigger] Standing through the rising storms, (oh…) Living through the shifting norms. Even when it breaks my world, (don’t break…) Even when my hope is curled… (mm…) Still I carry all this world… (all of it…) ’Cause… I’m a big girl. (yeah…) Yeahhhhh Ohhhhhh woahhhhh [Outro – very slow, fading] No one there to catch my fall… (no one…) No one there to hear my call… (hear me…) So I’m standing in this world… (still standing…) ’Cause… I’m a big girl… (a big girl…) Yeah… I’m a big girl. (mm…)
