Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Born on a hard dirt floor

With a storm at the door

Mama cried, “Be strong, girl”

But the world hit back for more

Small hands, heavy chores

Big mouths, slammed doors

I learned to keep my head low

And swallow what it pours

[Chorus]

I got sugar in my bones

(Oh, I got sugar)

I got sugar in my bones

(It’s mine, it’s mine)

You can bruise my days

You can shake my home

But you can’t own

The woman I’ve become

[Verse 2]

First love wore a cruel grin

Took my trust and left me thin

Took my blue dress, took my sleep

Made my soft heart hide its skin

Every “sorry” tasted cheap

Every promise ran too deep

I wore shame like Sunday gloves

And cried where no one would hear me

[Chorus]

I got sugar in my bones

(Oh, I got sugar)

I got sugar in my bones

(It’s mine, it’s mine)

You can bruise my days

You can shake my home

But you can’t own

The woman I’ve become

[Verse 3]

Then one dawn I saw my face

In a cracked-up bathroom pane

Black-and-blue around the eyes

Still, there was fire in the rain

I said, “Baby, that’s enough”

Kissed the hurt and called it bluff

Wrote my name across my heart

And that was healing, plain and rough

[Bridge]

I held my own two hands

When no one else would stay

I picked the glass from my soul

And threw the shame away

I was never made to break

I was never made to kneel

I looked that mirror dead in the eye

And made a deal

[Chorus]

I got sugar in my bones

(Oh, I got sugar)

I got sugar in my bones

(It’s mine, it’s mine)

You can bruise my days

You can shake my home

But you can’t own

The woman I’ve become

[Outro]

Now I dance with my own name

Now I sleep in my own skin

If love was ever lost on me

I found her back again

I found her back again

(Yes, I did)

I found her back again
