[Verse 1]
He said, "stay low, stay small"
Made my name sound wrong
Kept my phone turned off
Kept my nights too long
I wore his words like scars
On my skin, on my tongue
But I found a crack in the dark
And I started to run
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands off my heart now
I'm done with the damage
I was not made
To be someone's habit
[Chorus]
I broke the chain, chain, chain
I got my own name back
I broke the chain, chain, chain
Never gone go back
He can't keep my flame, flame, flame
I'm more than he blamed
I broke the chain, chain, chain
And I like me this way
[Verse 2]
Took my coat and keys
Left that bruise behind
No more walking on glass
No more "sorry" lines
I called my sister up
Said, "I'm finally free"
She said, "baby, that's you"
And I heard me believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands off my heart now
I'm done with the damage
I was not made
To be someone's habit
[Chorus]
I broke the chain, chain, chain
I got my own name back
I broke the chain, chain, chain
Never gone go back
He can't keep my flame, flame, flame
I'm more than he blamed
I broke the chain, chain, chain
And I like me this way
[Bridge]
I don't flinch at the door
I don't fold anymore
I can sleep in the quiet
I can choose what I'm for
No more begging to breathe
No more shrinking my dream
I stood up in the mirror
And she looked back clean
[Final Chorus]
I broke the chain, chain, chain
I got my own name back
I broke the chain, chain, chain
Never gone go back
He can't keep my flame, flame, flame
I'm more than he blamed
I broke the chain, chain, chain
And I like me this way
