I Broke It Instead

# 🎵 **“Life Swung Me Like a Swing”** **[Intro — quiet, tense]** Life swung me, swung me, swung me like a swing, It lifted me up, then threw me into the dirt. There were days when I could laugh, And sometimes I faced the day in tears. **[Verse 1 — hard]** Sometimes I flew almost to heaven, Sometimes I fell straight into the dirt. How many times did life try to break me? How many times did I rise again? I trusted — they betrayed me. I forgave — they never valued it. They whispered behind my back, “She won't make it.” But they never knew the strength burning inside me. I learned to stay silent when it hurt, To smile when life got hard. Let life throw me down again — **I'll still keep moving forward.** **[Chorus — HARD ROCK]** I won't turn back! I'll rise against them all! Life bent me over its knee — **But it never broke me!** **I broke it instead!** Let them whisper behind my back — Let them laugh at me — **I'll prove I'm stronger than every single one of them!** **[Verse 2]** There were nights when I cried, So nobody would ever know. I saved myself when no one was there, I learned to stand alone. I've walked so many roads, I've made mistakes along the way. I don't regret a single road — **Every road made me stronger.** Let them say whatever they want, Let them call me weak again. I've fought too hard for my freedom To ever give myself away again. **[Chorus — harder]** I won't turn back! I'll rise against them all! Life bent me over its knee — **But it never broke me!** **I broke it instead!** Let them laugh behind my back — I'll prove them wrong! **I'm stronger than every single one of them!** **[Bridge — quiet, then explosive]** I fell — and I got back up. I lost — and I found my way again. No matter how hard life tried to break me — **Fear has no power over me anymore.** **[Final Chorus — explosive]** I WON'T TURN BACK! I'LL RISE AGAIN! Life bent me over its knee — **BUT IT NEVER BROKE ME!** **I BROKE IT INSTEAD!** Let them laugh behind my back! Let them say I can't win! I've survived the darkest nights — **And I'm stronger than every single one!** I won't turn back! I choose to live! Let life swing me up and down — **It will never break me!** **[Outro — cold, confident]** Life swung me like a swing… It lifted me, then threw me down… But after everything it put me through — **I'm still standing.** **I broke it instead.** ❤️‍🔥🤘
