[Verse 2] I was young and loud, thought the rules didn't apply to me One dumb decision caught me by the neck, shadow cast A careless moment hit the wire, a fast-burning flame They picked it apart, they assigned the shame, they gave it a name Little pieces of my past pinned up high for all to see They didn't want the truth, just the broken picture of me. [Chorus] They're sharpening their knives, saying "She's done, she's through" 'Cause one wrong move means everything you do is made untrue Welcome to the trial where the judge and jury are all on a screen They watch you stumble, then call you mean. But the story doesn't end when the headlines dry and the phones go dark Go on and shout it: I'm Canceled, but I'll return. [Verse 2] Walk into a room and the air just drops, you can feel the stare The kind of quiet that follows a wreck, the silence after the boom They paint you as the villain stuck forever in the gloom I read the comments late at night, letting the bitter sting People who don't know my name deciding what the future brings. [Chorus] They're sharpening their knives, saying "She's done, she's through" 'Cause one wrong move means everything you do is made untrue Welcome to the trial where the judge and jury are all on a screen They watch you stumble, then call you mean. But the story doesn't end when the headlines dry and the phones go dark Go on and shout it: I'm Canceled, but I'll return. [Bridge] The truth about a person isn't found in one mistake It's in the quiet work you do for goodness' sake. Some folks just wait for the slip-up, they thrive on the fall They're quick to judge but terrified of ever answering a call Holding onto anger only makes your own heart rough. [Chorus] They're sharpening their knives, saying "She's done, she's through" 'Cause one wrong move means everything you do is made untrue Welcome to the trial where the judge and jury are all on a screen They watch you stumble, then call you mean. But the story doesn't end when the headlines dry and the phones go dark Go on and shout it: I'm Canceled, but I'll return. [Refrain] I'll keep getting up, I'll keep getting back up. I'll keep getting up, I'll keep getting back up. You can't erase the lessons I earned. [Outro] They thought they broke the reputation, but they only grew the skin. The kid who messed up learned fast... the better person begins. (A little quieter, defiant) Still here. Still real. Still me.
