Kevin Dion - Destiny In My Hands

(Verse 1) I gave too much of me To people who never saw the real thing Poured out my heart till it ran empty And called it love when it was breaking me I lost my fire in the noise Forgot the power in my voice But every scar became a map Leading me right back… (Pre-Chorus) To the man I was before the hurt Before I let my worth get blurred I ain’t who I was back then I’m rising up again (Chorus) I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned I’ve been used, but now it’s my turn No more giving all I have to people who don’t understand I’m taking back the pieces they tried to claim Writing my own story, owning my name I’m done with the pain, I finally know where I stand My destiny’s in my hands (Verse 2) I used to bend till I would break Just to keep the peace, just to feel safe But the truth is stronger than the fear I see it clearer now I’m standing here I learned love ain’t supposed to hurt And loyalty ain’t something earned By losing who I am inside No more dimming my own light (Pre-Chorus) I’m done apologizing for Wanting something worth fighting for If they can’t meet me where I am Then I’ll walk alone again (Chorus) I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned I’ve been used, but now it’s my turn No more giving all I have to people who don’t understand I’m taking back the pieces they tried to claim Writing my own story, owning my name I’m done with the pain, I finally know where I stand My destiny’s in my hands (Bridge) I’m stronger than the things I survived I’m done letting anybody take my shine No more “almost love,” no more trying to fit in This time I choose myself, and I choose to win (Final Chorus) Yeah, I’ve been broken, I’ve been burned I’ve been used, but now it’s my turn No more chains around my heart No more playing in the dark I’m building up the man I am From my own truth, my own plans This time I rise, I fight, I take my stand— My destiny’s in my hands (Outro) My destiny… My destiny’s in my hands
