YOU DON’T OWN ME

Verse 1

You took my childhood, stole my sleep,

Left your shadows inside of me,

I was thirteen learning how to hide,

Learning how to swallow every cry.

You wore a mask, called it “love,”

But hell was waiting behind your touch,

I was just a girl with broken wings,

Still trying hard to believe in things.

School halls laughing, pointing fingers,

Every word cut deeper, lingered,

No safe place, no escape,

Just me and my invisible pain.

Pre-Chorus

But I’m done being quiet, done being small,

Done letting your ghost control it all.

Chorus

You don’t own me, you never did,

I’m more than what you took as a kid,

You tried to break me, tried to erase my name,

But I’m fire walking through the flames.

I’m still breathing, still alive,

Still learning how to rise and fight,

You lost your power over my life,

You don’t own me tonight.

Verse 2

Sixteen and searching for something real,

Mistook your chains for something I could feel,

He said “I love you,” then made me bleed,

Turned my trust into tragedy.

Bruises hidden, tears denied,

Smiled in public, died inside,

Thought I deserved every scar,

Didn’t know how strong I really was.

Every mirror lied to me,

Showed a girl I couldn’t see,

But underneath the cracks and pain,

A storm was forming in my veins.

Chorus

You don’t own me, you never did,

I’m more than what you took as a kid,

You tried to break me, tried to erase my name,

But I’m fire walking through the flames.

I’m still breathing, still alive,

Still learning how to rise and fight,

You lost your power over my life,

You don’t own me tonight.

Bridge (Spoken/Rap Style)

No, I won’t carry your shame,

No, I won’t play your game,

I was innocent, I was young,

You were wrong, every single one.

I survived what should’ve killed me,

Built a crown from what you gave me,

Every scar is proof I’m here,

Every step is victory, yeah.

Verse 3

Now I walk with my head up high,

With truth burning in my eyes,

I speak for the girl I used to be,

And every soul who couldn’t speak.

I turned my trauma into strength,

Turned my tears into faith,

I’m not your victim anymore,

I’m a warrior at my core.

Final Chorus

You don’t own me, you never did,

I’m more than what you took as a kid,

You tried to break me, tried to erase my name,

But I’m fire walking through the flames.

I’m still breathing, still alive,

Still learning how to rise and fight,

I wrote my future with my light,

You don’t own me tonight.

Outro

I’m still here.

I’m still strong.

I’m still worthy.

All along.

You broken me from 7 to 13 and I will never forgive you dad I am never calling you a father again

I’m aright

I’m here

I’m still strong

I’m worthy not worthless
