[Verse 1]
She trusted him like spring
A laugh, a borrowed key
Then every kind word turned
To poison she could see
He wore a friendly face
Like it was safe to wear
But her whole world cracked
In the silence of his stare
[Pre-Chorus]
And she kept saying, “Maybe I’m wrong”
Trying to make the hurt feel small
But pain don’t shrink
When it’s carried alone
And fear don’t leave
Just because you call
[Chorus]
Not your toy, not your bruise
Not a prize for them to use
She is fire, she is proof
She will not be broken through
Stand up, stand up
Say it loud for her
Stand up, stand up
She is more than what they burned
[Verse 2]
And on the other side
Another girl went home
With shaking hands and lies
And a face she wouldn’t show
He said “I love you” mean
Like chains dressed up as silk
Every bruise kept time
With the part of her he killed
[Pre-Chorus]
And she kept saying, “Maybe it’ll pass”
While the walls got smaller every day
But love is not
A hand that makes you hide
Love is not
A wound you call a name
[Chorus]
Not your toy, not your bruise
Not a prize for them to use
She is fire, she is proof
She will not be broken through
Stand up, stand up
Say it loud for her
Stand up, stand up
She is more than what they burned
[Bridge]
Girls, don’t fold your voice
Into someone else’s fist
If they take your name apart
You still exist
We are sisters in the dark
Turning pain to light
One speaks, then another
And we rise tonight
[Final Chorus]
Not your toy, not your bruise
Not a prize for them to use
She is fire, she is proof
She will not be broken through
Stand up, stand up
Say it loud for her
Stand up, stand up
She is more than what they burned
Stand up, stand up
We won’t let them win
Stand up, stand up
Let the healing begin
