This Is My Time

All I wanted was to be me Never asked for a thing from you You were busy breaking my wings I was busy learning what pain can do I watched every door slam shut Said I'm "too much" or "not enough" You wrote my story in your ink I burned the pages Climbed back up You said I wouldn't make it You laughed when I believed But pressure made a diamond Now you gotta watch me This is my time now I do what I want How I want Whatever it takes I’m taking it all (taking it all) I know I’m the best The greatest of all The one who will rise The one who won’t fall I wanna see your faces When you see me standing tall It’ll be too late to say sorry at all I don’t need anyone I got me That’s enough I survived the fire and came out tough You turned your back when I was bleeding Called it “lesson ” I called it war I stitched myself in the dark Now I’m sharper than before You only see the glory glow You never saw the nights I broke Screaming quiet in a small room Swore I’d turn that hurt to gold You said I wouldn’t make it You laughed when I believed But pressure made a diamond Now you gotta watch me This is my time now I do what I want How I want Whatever it takes I’m taking it all (yeah, all of it) I know I’m the best The greatest of all The one who will rise The one who won’t fall I wanna see your faces When you see me standing tall It’ll be too late to say sorry at all I don’t need anyone I got me That’s enough I survived the fire and came out tough (so tough) I always had me When nobody stayed Turned every “never” To fuel in my veins Look at me now Remember the name You built the cage I broke every chain This is my time now I do what I want How I want Whatever it takes I’m taking it all (taking it all) I know I’m the best The greatest of all The one who will rise The one who won’t fall I wanna see your faces When you see me standing tall It’ll be too late to say sorry at all I don’t need anyone I got me That’s enough I survived the storm and came back rough This is my time now This is my time You had your chances The rest of it’s mine
