[Spoken Intro - smirk - low] “They told me it was impossible." "They don't stop me now” “and they didn't stop me then” [Verse 1 – teenage years] Writing songs in a small-town room, Walls too thin, dreams too soon. Parents said, "(baby, get a plan),” But my notebook knew I’d never need a man. Every heartbreak, every fight, Became lyrics scribbled late at night. A girl with no stage, no sound, no crowd, But I sang to myself, I sang out loud. (backing: oooooooooh) [Pre-Chorus] Every “no” was fuel for me, Every door closed built the melody. I was fragile, but played the game, And I swore they’d one day know my name. [Chorus] I didn’t give up, I played that game, Turned rejection into something they’d frame. From the silence to the spotlight’s call, Fairytales proved I could have it all. I didn’t give up, I broke the curse, Every verse got sharper, every tear reversed. [Verse 2 – early career struggle] Shitty bars with a mic half-dead, Whiskey breath, sore throat, hands bled. Crowds too drunk to even hear, But I sang louder, crystal clear. Critics laughed — “she’ll fade in a year,” But I burned their doubt, I fed on the sneer. Every empty stage, every scar, Carved my way to who I am, who we are. [Pre-Chorus] Every no was a twisted gift, Every failure gave my spirit lift. I stitched my pain into every line, And I swore one day, the world was mine. [Chorus] I didn’t give up, I played the long game, Turned rejection into something they’d frame. From the silence to the spotlight’s call, not just Fairytales - I could have it all. I didn’t give up, I broke the curse, Every verse got sharper, every tear rehearsed. [Bridge – whispered, sultry, raw] I found the recipe for luck, it was blood, it was bone, Every lyric, every note — I mixed it on my own. From a teenage dream, to the world on fire, You can’t kill a girl who sings her desire. [Final Chorus – soaring, triumphant] I didn’t give up, I used the shame, Every “too much” became my name. From a thousand "No's!" to a world wide stage, I wrote my truth on every page. I didn’t give up, I won’t bow down, This broken girl from her broken town. [Spoken Outro – confident, steady laugh] “I wrote my own happy ending. And I never give up.”
