[ Opening ]

You spent years telling me who I was...
Who I could be...
What I was allowed to become.

You built a cage around me and called it love.

Funny thing about cages...
They teach people how to escape.

And while you were busy trying to control me...
I was learning how to rule.

[Verse 1] 
You built a cage and called it love, 
Locked every door and kept the key, 
Told me who I had to become, 
While slowly taking parts of me.

You thought fear would make me loyal, 
Thought guilt would keep me by your side, 
But every chain you wrapped around me, 
Only taught me how to fight.

[Pre-Chorus] 
Now the walls are falling down, 
And I'm standing where you left me, 
You thought I'd spend my whole life broken, 
But look who's finally free.

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
You can't control me anymore, 
Can't tell me who I'm living for, 
I took back every piece you stole, 
Now I'm the queen of my own soul.

I won't kneel, 
I won't bow, 
You don't own my future now. 
The prisoner became the boss, 
And I'm never giving up this crown.

You can't control... 
You can't control... 
You can't control me now.

[Verse 2] 
I remember sitting silent, 
While you sat upon your throne, 
Making rules for everybody, 
While dying scared to be alone.

You mistook obedience for love, 
And power for respect, 
But a kingdom built on fear
Eventually collects its debts.

Now I walk into the room, 
And I don't need to raise my voice, 
The strongest leaders know their power 
Comes from having a choice.

[Pre-Chorus]
I stopped asking for permission, 
Stopped waiting for your approval, 
You were writing my sentence, 
While I was planning my removal.

[Chorus]
You can't control me anymore, 
Can't tell me who I'm living for, 
I took back every piece you stole, 
Now I'm the queen of my own soul.

I won't kneel, 
I won't bow,
 You don't own my future now.
 The prisoner became the boss,
 And I'm never giving up this crown.

[Bridge] 
You called me weak, 
But weakness doesn't survive the fire. 
You called me broken, 
But broken things can still inspire.

You wanted a daughter who obeyed, 
A puppet dancing on a string, 
But every scar became my armor,

And every wound taught me to be a queen.

No more fear. 
No more shame. 
No more carrying your name.
Tonight the throne comes back to me.

[ Interlude ]

[Final Chorus] 
You can't control me anymore, 
The chains are lying on the floor,
 I walked through hell and came back stronger, 
I'm not your prisoner anymore.

I won't kneel, 
I won't bow,
 Look who's standing taller now.
 The girl you tried to silence 
Built an empire from the fallout.

You can't control me anymore, 
I reclaimed the throne you stole before, 
And every door you tried to lock
Became the road I'm walking on.

[Outro] 
I don't control the room... I command it.

And queens…
Don’t ask for permission.

I don't sit on borrowed thrones...
I built my own.

And no one...
Will ever take it from me again.
