You built me up just to break me down
Taught me fear was how love’s supposed to sound
Told me I was nothing on my own
So I carved my voice in broken bones
You say I'm still a disappointment
Like it’s a badge you made for me
But all I ever wanted
Was a chance to be free
You think control means love
That’s all you ever knew
But what you did to her
I'll never forgive you
You took her from me
And I still hear the silence
You stole my choices
Left me drowning in compliance
But I crawled through the fire
Found someone who sees me right
And no matter what you say
You don’t get that right
No, not tonight
She’s not yours to threaten, not a deal to trade
I won't watch you ruin what we made
I won’t be your legacy of hate
I found something pure –
You won’t take that away
You’re still a disappointment
That’s the only truth you know
But you don’t get to crush us
Not this time, not her soul
You took her from me
And I still ache in the quiet
But this time I'm speaking
Even if my hands are silent
I stood in your shadow
But I'm stepping into light
You don’t get to break me
You don’t get that right
I made you everything you are
No, you made me scared
But she showed me how to care
You don’t get to name what love is
Not when you’ve never been there
You took her from me
And you tried to take my life
But this love I’ve found
Is mine, and I’ll fight
You can call me weak
But I won’t lose this fight
‘Cause I'm holding her hand
And you don’t get that right
You don’t get that right
Not anymore
