[Verse 1] I wore their rules like chains Until they cut my skin Tried to make me kneel For a crown I never fit I heard their mouths like thunder Telling me what to be But every scar I kept Was just a door in me [Pre-Chorus] I felt my name come back From under all that noise A harder kind of truth A steady, quieter voice [Chorus] I bow to no one Only to my heart I bow to no one I was mine from the start I bow to no one Let the dark come on I bow to no one I keep standing strong [Verse 2] They wanted soft surrender A smile and lowered eyes But I was made of fire With a storm behind my ribs I walked through every shadow With my hands unbound If I am broken open I still make my own sound [Pre-Chorus] I felt my name come back From under all that noise A harder kind of truth A steady, quieter voice [Chorus] I bow to no one Only to my heart I bow to no one I was mine from the start I bow to no one Let the dark come on I bow to no one I keep standing strong [Bridge] If I fall, I rise If I burn, I glow I don't need their blessing I already know My blood, my flame My wound, my song I bowed once before Now I stand too tall [Final Chorus] I bow to no one Only to my heart I bow to no one I was mine from the start I bow to no one Let the dark come on I bow to no one I keep standing strong I bow to no one (Only to my heart) I bow to no one (I was mine from the start)
