Taking control

She wakes up with the weight of yesterday
World on her shoulders but she’s on her way
Mirror says “you’re tougher than you know”
She nods, then hides the cracks she won’t show

She’s learned how to smile through the noise
Be the calm, be the strong, be the steady voice
But every careless word they throw her way
Finds a place in her heart, decides to stay

Pre-Chorus
She tells herself she’s bulletproof
But words can bruise worse than truth

Chorus
She refuses to let life bring her down
Even when her feet barely touch the ground
She’s a fighter, yeah, she wears that crown
But she lets the wrong voices spin her around
She stands tall when the world’s unkind
Still, she carries every scar they leave behind
She won’t break, no matter how hard they try
But sometimes even the strongest cry

Verse 2
She’s the one they lean on when they fall
Always answers, always takes the call
Gives her light till the room’s too bright
Leaves herself alone in the quiet night

She believes in good, even when it hurts
Sees the best in people at her worst
Every promise broken, every doubt
She keeps letting them inside, lets it out

Pre-Chorus
She knows her worth, she knows her name
Still lets their shadows feed the flame

Chorus
She refuses to let life bring her down
Even when her feet barely touch the ground
She’s a fighter, yeah, she wears that crown
But she lets the wrong voices spin her around
She stands tall when the world’s unkind
Still, she carries every scar they leave behind
She won’t break, no matter how hard they try
But sometimes even the strongest cry

Bridge
One day she’ll learn to close the door
Stop bleeding for people who want more
Turn the volume down on every doubt
Let her own voice be the loudest sound

Final Chorus
She still refuses to let life bring her down
Now her feet are planted on solid ground
She’s a fighter, always has been found
But she’s learning who deserves her now
She stands tall, finally free
From the weight of who they told her to be
She’s still strong, still soft inside
And that’s the reason she survives

Outro
Yeah, she bends, but she won’t break
She’s learning which battles she should take
