[Verse 1]
You toss your little comments like coins across the floor
Smile when I go quiet, then come back with more
I’ve learned the shape of every cheap disguise
But I’m done shrinking just to fit your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to name me
You don’t get to decide
I carried all your poison
Now I’m leaving it behind
[Chorus]
I’m not your target, not your easy win
I won’t let your bad words underneath my skin
You can keep your judgment, keep your crooked crown
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
I’m rising, rising, hear me now
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
[Verse 2]
You measure every flaw like it’s a reason I should hide
Turn a stranger’s confidence into something you can grind
I used to count the damage, replay every scene
Now I see your cruelty says more about you than me
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to name me
You don’t get to decide
I’m taking back my breathing room
And stepping into mine
[Chorus]
I’m not your target, not your easy win
I won’t let your bad words underneath my skin
You can keep your judgment, keep your crooked crown
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
I’m rising, rising, hear me now
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
[Bridge]
No more apologies for taking up my space
No more turning my own fire into shame
If you came to watch me break, you picked the wrong night
I found my voice, and it cuts through every lie
[Final Chorus]
I’m not your target, not your easy win
I won’t let your bad words underneath my skin
You can keep your judgment, keep your crooked crown
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
I’m rising, rising, hear me now
I’m stronger than the noise you throw around
I’m rising, rising, hear me now
I’m done letting mean hearts pull me down
[Outro]
You can talk, but I won’t bow
I know who I am now
