[Verse 1]
Used to twist my words
Shrink myself to fit their frame
Every mirror felt
Like it was saying my name in shame
Then I caught my breath
In the middle of the noise one day
Saw the fire in my chest
And it burned all the doubt away
[Chorus]
I glow in my own way
Your little box could never hold me
What you say
What you say
Doesn’t get to control me
Turn it up
Watch me shine
Every flaw is a diamond tonight
I glow in my own way
And your opinion’s out of my life (out of my life)
[Verse 2]
You can roll your eyes
Call me “too much
” that’s alright
Every color that you hate
Just makes my painting come alive
You can keep your script
I rewrote every single line
Yeah
I dance off beat
But the rhythm was always mine
[Chorus]
I glow in my own way
Your little box could never hold me
What you say
What you say
Doesn’t get to control me
Turn it up
Watch me shine
Every flaw is a diamond tonight
I glow in my own way
And your opinion’s out of my life (out of my life)
[Bridge]
Talk all you want
I went deaf to that sound
Your echo is empty
I’m not hanging around
I’m done asking “please
” I’m done playing it small
If you can’t handle my heart
Then don’t handle me at all (hey!)
[Chorus]
I glow in my own way
Your little box could never hold me
What you say
What you say
Doesn’t get to control me
Turn it up
Watch me shine
Every flaw is a diamond tonight
I glow in my own way
Yeah
I glow in my own way
And your opinion’s out of my life (out of my life)
