[Verse 1] I walked into your light half-asleep You smiled and took the reins from my hands Every choice I made became yours Every road I took led back to you I called it devotion, called it desire Just wanting to be loved, to be needed By a woman who only wanted me to please her Now I stand here in your shadow Still calling it love [Pre-Chorus] Little by little, I disappeared Till I couldn’t tell whose voice I heard I gave you everything you asked of me And somewhere along the way, I lost me [Chorus] You created me Cut me down to fit You created me Taught me how to submit Every whim, every need I wore your rules like skin Forgot where I ended And you begin You created me And I let you [Verse 2] Swallowed my words so yours stayed loud I watched your face to see if I made you proud Said yes when my gut screamed no Called it love while I let myself go Now the man in the mirror isn’t me Just a quiet shadow of who I used to be I gave you my voice, I gave you my name I gave you my self, I gave you my acclaim [Pre-Chorus] Little by little, I disappeared Till I couldn’t tell whose voice I heard I gave you everything you asked of me And somewhere along the way, I lost me [Chorus] You created me Cut me down to fit You created me Taught me how to submit Every whim, every need I wore your rules like skin Forgot where I ended And you begin You created me And I let you [Bridge] I loved you with everything I had left But love shouldn’t feel like a lifelong debt Living in the house that you defined Sleeping in a bed that was never mine So tonight, I draw the line [Final Chorus] You created me But that chapter’s done You created me Now I’m coming undone Every whim, every need I’m shedding what you spun I won’t wear your name Like a loaded gun You created me But you don’t own me now I’m taking back my voice I’m taking it back now I’m finally walking out I’m finally choosing me I’m finally free
