Verse 1
Used to shrink myself to fit the room
Second-guessing everything I'd do
Always wondering if I'd measure up
If I'd ever be enough
Watched everybody else take flight
While I stayed scared of getting it wrong
Spent so many years waiting around
For someone to believe in me
Pre-Chorus
Then one day I looked in the mirror
And saw somebody stronger standing there
Chorus
So watch me now
Watch me build the life they said I couldn't
Watch me stand where I never thought I would
Every tear
Every scar
Every time they counted out my heart
Turned into something stronger somehow
I don't need saving
I don't need permission
I've got my own wings now
So watch me now
Verse 2
Funny how the ones who doubt you most
Never see the battles that you fought
Never see the nights you stayed awake
Trying not to break
They only see the finished story
Not the chapters filled with fear
Not the girl who almost gave up
To become the woman standing here
Pre-Chorus
And every "no" became a reason
To keep moving forward anyway
Chorus
So watch me now
Watch me build the life they said I couldn't
Watch me stand where I never thought I would
Every tear
Every scar
Every time they counted out my heart
Turned into something stronger somehow
I don't need saving
I don't need permission
I've got my own wings now
So watch me now
Bridge
Maybe I spent too much time
Waiting for somebody else
To tell me I was worth it
Now I know that for myself
And that's a freedom
Nobody can take away
Final Chorus
So watch me now
Watch me chase the dreams I almost buried
Watch me love the girl I used to carry
Every fall
Every bruise
Every time I thought that I would lose
Brought me right here somehow
I'm done hiding
Done apologizing
For taking up my space now
Watch me now
Outro
You don't have to believe in me anymore...
I finally do.
