[Verse 1]
You had me small
Under your thumb
Kept my name low
Kept my heart numb
Bruises fade
But the truth stays
I learned your love
Was a locked cage
You said "stay here"
I said "no more"
Saw my own face
At the cracked door
Hands in my pockets
Shaking, but brave
I took the last step
Out of that cave
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear my own voice now
Louder than before
I don't beg for air
I kick down doors
I don't need your shadows
Covering my skin
I'm not going back
I'm coming in
[Chorus]
I break free, I break free
I am not your damage
I break free, I break free
Watch me leave the ashes
My worth is mine
My heart is mine
I break free, I break free
I break free tonight (tonight)
[Verse 2]
I stopped your texts
Let them burn blue
Stopped shrinking myself
Just to fit you
Found a new mirror
Found a new name
Found out the fear
Was never my shame
Now I dance in my room
Windows up wide
No more walking on glass
No more "please stay" lies
Got my own breath
Got my own plan
Got my own fire
In my own hands
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear my own voice now
Louder than before
I don't beg for air
I kick down doors
I don't need your shadows
Covering my skin
I'm not going back
I'm coming in
[Chorus]
I break free, I break free
I am not your damage
I break free, I break free
Watch me leave the ashes
My worth is mine
My heart is mine
I break free, I break free
I break free tonight (tonight)
[Bridge]
You can't rename my scars
You can't own my dawn
I was not your ruin
I was here all along
Cut the chain
Let it fall
I was never yours
To lose at all
[Drop]
I break free
I break free
Watch me rise now (rise now)
I break free
I break free
I'm alive now (alive now)
[Final Chorus]
I break free, I break free
I am not your damage
I break free, I break free
Watch me leave the ashes
My worth is mine
My heart is mine
I break free, I break free
I break free tonight (tonight)
