Loud, Honest, Finally Mine

Verse 1

I used to bite my tongue ‘til it bled real slow

Just to keep the peace, just to fit the mold

Turned down my fire, dimmed my shine

Tried to be theirs, wasn’t ever mine

Mama said, “Girl, don’t make a scene”

So I learned how to hide what I really mean

But all that silence built a storm

And I got damn tired of playin’ warm

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I spent years tryna be liked by the crowd

Till I looked in the mirror and said it out loud—

Chorus

I’m loud, I’m honest, yeah I say what I feel

No more dressing up just to make it all appeal

I’ve been broken down, I’ve been told I’m too much

But I’m finally enough, yeah I’m finally in touch

With the girl I buried just to get by

Now she’s back with a voice and a spark in her eyes

If you don’t like the truth, you can walk on by

‘Cause I’m loud, I’m honest… and I’m finally mine

Verse 2

I used to chase love that didn’t stay

Bendin’ over backwards just to make ‘em okay

But I learned real quick what it cost my soul

Tryna fill their glass left mine with a hole

Now I speak my mind, don’t sugarcoat

If it cuts too deep, well that’s all she wrote

I ain’t here to please, I ain’t here to fake

I’d rather stand alone than lose my name

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I drew that line, yeah I took that stand

Put my heart right back in my own two hands—

Chorus

I’m loud, I’m honest, yeah I say what I feel

No more walking on eggshells, no more hiding what’s real

I’ve been torn apart, I’ve been built back tough

Now I know deep down that I’m more than enough

Got a little more fire, little less disguise

Got a whole lotta truth I don’t apologize

If it shakes you up, well that ain’t my crime

‘Cause I’m loud, I’m honest… and I’m finally mine

Bridge

They called me stubborn, said I’d never change

But I did—I stopped playin’ their game

Now I wear my scars like a badge of gold

Every hard damn lesson made me bold

Breakdown

Yeah I’m rough round the edges, yeah I speak too straight

But I’d rather be real than be second-rate

Final Chorus

I’m loud, I’m honest, yeah I say what I feel

Got a backbone strong and a heart that can heal

I’ve been knocked down low, I’ve been counted out

Now I’m standin’ right here and I’m sayin’ it proud

I ain’t shrinkin’ down, I ain’t playin’ small

I’m the truest damn version I’ve ever been at all

Take it or leave it, I’m drawin’ the line

‘Cause I’m loud, I’m honest… and I’m finally mine

Outro

Yeah I’m finally mine…

And I ain’t givin’ that up this time
