TURN IT DOWN !! Verse 1 Mic cord wrapped in my fist Cold block against my spine Boot heel cracks the concrete Counting off in time You said I was too much Said I crossed the line Hallway lockers ringing “Tone it down” every time Pre-Chorus You said turn it down You said turn it down Chorus Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now Verse 2 Garage air thick with dust Amp dial buried in red Dad’s truck shook the driveway With every word I said They laughed at my sharp edges Said girls don’t sound like that I wanted it bigger than this town I wanted it louder than flat Pre-Chorus You said turn it down You said turn it down Chorus Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now Bridge Cinderblock, stage lights, sweat in my eyes Heartbeat punching the monitor mics Part of me shakes when the room goes black Part of me likes that You wanted me quiet You wanted me small I don’t bend easy I don’t bend at all Final Chorus Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now Built too loud You said turn it down Built too loud Look at me now
