[Intro]
Yeah
I been quiet for a minute
Teeth clenched
Heart loud in it
[Verse 1]
You only love me when I'm easy to control
When I'm bleeding on the floor but I still play the role
You pick pieces of my peace just to feed on my doubt
Call it "helping me grow" while you’re cutting me down
You say I'm selfish when I finally say "enough"
You say I'm bitter ‘cause I stop cleaning up your mess
You say I'm different, I don't match the kid you crushed
Maybe I'm different ‘cause I’m done being less
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the old me?
Go dig him out that grave
You miss the soft me
The one you always saved
[Chorus]
Aren’t you proud of me now?
Look what you made, look what you made
Built from the bruise and the doubt
Still I won’t break, still I won’t break
You tried to shut my mouth
I turned the pain into sound
You wanted me small, wanted me down
Aren’t you proud of me now?
[Verse 2]
Haunted by the things I let you call "love"
Backhand blessings, poison in a paper cup
You only text when you wanna resurrect the guilt
Say you miss "us" but you just miss what you killed
I used to fold when you raised up your tone
Now my spine's steel, I got keys to my own home
You said I'd crash, said I’d crawl back crying
Funny how your prophecy the only thing dying
[Pre-Chorus]
You want the quiet kid
Head down in the crowd
You miss the scared one
The one you talked over, loud
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Look at me breathe on my own
Look at these scars turned gold
You wrote the script for my fall
Watch how I flip it and own it all
[Building, autotuned ad-libs: "own it all", "you see me now?"]
[Chorus]
