[Verse 1] Used to hide in the corner Eyes down Tried to disappear Every laugh felt like thunder Every mirror just showed my fear I wore my silence like armor Heavy on my shoulders all day Heartbeat stuck in a whisper So afraid of what they'd say [Pre-Chorus] But there’s a voice inside me Breaking through the quiet Saying I’m more than all this doubt I don’t have to hide it Hands shaking, but I’m ready now To let the light come flooding out [Chorus] Now I'm stepping out of my shell Out of my shell Out of my hiding Learning how to love myself Love myself Tired of denying Every scar Every story I never told I’m letting them show Letting them glow I'm stepping out of my shell And I’m finally coming home [Verse 2] I still shake when I stumble Still get lost inside my head But I’m done with apologizing For the way my soul is dressed Took the mask off this morning Saw the softness in my eyes I’m not broken Just unfolding Like a sun that’s on the rise [Chorus] Now I'm stepping out of my shell Out of my shell Out of my hiding Learning how to love myself Love myself Tired of denying Every scar Every story I never told I’m letting them show Letting them glow I'm stepping out of my shell And I’m finally coming home [Bridge] I thought I had to earn my place (oh) Had to be perfect to be safe But all along the key I chased Was waiting in my chest So I’ll take up a little space (yeah) Say my name like it’s a grace I’m done running from my face This heart deserves the best [Chorus] Now I'm stepping out of my shell Out of my shell Out of my hiding Learning how to love myself Love myself Slowly Then rising Every story I never told I’m letting them show Letting them glow I'm stepping out of my shell And I’m finally coming home [Outro instrumental guitar ]
