[Verse 1]
Lipstick stains on the mirror
Mascara marks on my face
Ripped black lace and a cracked phone screen
Still walking out of this place
Coffee cold on the counter
Keys swinging off my belt
Battle scars under this denim jacket
I earned every welt
[Pre-Chorus]
You said I’m "too much"
Then you said I’m weak
Pick a side
Pick a side
While I sharpen my teeth
[Chorus]
Bullets and brassieres
I don’t need anyone
I don’t need anyone (yeah)
Can take care of myself
I don’t need any of your help
I’m stronger than yesterday
I’m already gone
Bullets and brassieres
All your little doubts fall down at my feet
I stitch my own heart
Wear it over this steel
That’s the part of me you’ll never defeat
[Verse 2]
Red nails chipped from the fist fights
With the thoughts in my head
Turn my fears into fashion
Studs on the strap instead
Late night ride in a beat‑up car
Screaming out the window alone
If pain made me what I am right now
Then I’ll make it my throne
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] You don’t save me
[low vocal register] You just chain me
[building drums] Watch me break what tried to break me
I’m the bruise and the blade
I’m the soft and the scar
You can keep your little safety net
I’ll be flying through the dark
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
