Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They looked me in the face
And said, "Not your time"
I held that little doubt
Like a key in my hand
I watched them close the gate
I found a side door grin
Bet you thought I'd fold
Baby, you don't know me
[Pre-Chorus]
I was quiet, I was waiting
Heart in my throat
Now the whole room's shaking
Watch me let it go
[Chorus]
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
I took the long road
Made it look easy
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Saw the same old smirk
On the same old bench
Same old talk from them
Like they wrote my name
But I kept my shoes on
Kept my eyes ahead
Every "you should stop"
Turned into fuel instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I was quiet, I was waiting
Heart in my throat
Now the whole room's shaking
Watch me let it go
[Chorus]
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
I took the long road
Made it look easy
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did (yeah)
[Bridge]
Funny how the same hands
That shut the door
Clap a little louder
When I walk in for more
I don't need permission
I don't need the key
You said I couldn't
Now look at me
[Chorus]
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
I took the long road
Made it look easy
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did (yeah)
[Outro]
That’s why I did
That’s why I did
They told me I couldn’t
That’s why I did
