[Verse 1]
Mum said bend low
Dad said hold still
I wore their shape
Like a coat I couldn't kill
[Pre-Chorus]
But my hands shake
When I fake that calm
There’s a small true voice
Beating under the storm
[Chorus]
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
Even if they call it wrong
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
It was mine all along
[Verse 2]
Your old rules stack
Like bolts in a drawer
Heavy in the dark
Rattling through my floor
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear me now
Through the noise they made
A thin bright thread
Cutting through the haze
[Chorus]
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
Even if they call it wrong
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
It was mine all along
[Bridge]
If I break free
Let me break clean
I won't wear their fear
Like a family name
I can love them still
And still walk alone
My own two feet
My own home
[Final Chorus]
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
Even if they call it wrong
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
It was mine all along
I trust my pulse
I trust my pulse
I am mine now, strong
