[Verse 1]
I waited at the gate
For a hand to pull me through
I heard the footsteps fade
And the room stayed black and blue
All the wounds I kept
Like a secret under skin
They let the night get deep
Then they left me in it
[Pre-Chorus]
I bit back blood and panic
Held my name in my teeth
If nobody comes for me
Then I'm coming for me
[Chorus]
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
You left me in the dark
I'll take back what was mine
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
Every time you knock me down
I rise and I strike
[Verse 2]
I wore the bruises proud
Like a map I couldn't burn
Every scar a lesson
Every fall a turn
I learned the shape of rage
In the pit of my own chest
Now when the wolves get close
I don't beg, I test
[Pre-Chorus]
I bit back blood and panic
Held my name in my teeth
If nobody comes for me
Then I'm coming for me
[Chorus]
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
You left me in the dark
I'll take back what was mine
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
Every time you knock me down
I rise and I strike
[Bridge]
No more waiting
No more ghosts at the door
I made a weapon
Out of every hurt before
[Breakdown]
I rise
I rise
I rise and I strike back
I rise
I rise
I rise and I strike back
[Final Chorus]
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
You left me in the dark
I'll take back what was mine
I'll do it myself
I'll do it myself
Every time you knock me down
I rise and I strike
