Taking back controlI

[Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI know it's getting scarierBut I found my soulDon't tell me that it's overWhen it's just begunI feel it taking overI'm not giving up [Break Through] Break throughBreak throughBreak throughBreak throughBreak throughBreak through [Verse 1] Used to doubt myselfHeld that weight behind my eyesStaring at the ceilingCounting every failed try Used to bite my tongueLet the moment pass me byHands inside my pocketsToo afraid to ask why [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI was living in the backgroundNow I'm stepping to the front rowAll the walls I built around meI’m kicking out the doorBreaking every barrierI’m not that kid anymore (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Every cruel little commentTurned into a quiet scarKept a list in my notebookOf the ways I’d gone too far Now I burn those pagesWatch the ashes hit the floorEvery “can’t” that held meIs just echo — nothing more [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI was living in the backgroundNow I'm stepping to the front rowAll the walls I built around meI’m kicking out the doorBreaking every barrierI’m not that kid anymore [Bridge] I’m done asking for permissionDone rehearsing every wordIf my voice is called “too much”Then I’ll be twice as heard [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI was living in the backgroundNow I'm stepping to the front rowAll the walls I built around meI’m kicking out the doorBreaking every barrierThis time my heart is sure [Verse 3] Used to doubt myselfHeld that weight behind my eyesEvery mirror feltLike a stranger in disguise [Pre-Chorus]But I’m done staying quietTired of standing in my wayI’m stepping out of hidingI’m stepping into today (hey!) [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI’m not asking for permissionI’m writing my own roleEvery scar a storyEvery fall a roadBreaking every barrierTaking back control [Verse 4] All the crooked linesLed me right here to this placeEvery late-night lieI can see it in your face [Pre-Chorus] You said I’d never make itGuess you’ll watch me prove you wrongI’m climbing from the basementTurning pressure into songs (oh yeah) [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI’m not asking for permissionI’m writing my own roleEvery scar a storyEvery fall a roadBreaking every barrierTaking back control [Bridge] If I shakeI’ll still move forwardIf I breakI’ll build againI was scared of my own shadowNow I walk beside it as a friend [Chorus] Breaking every barrierTaking back controlI’m not asking for permissionI’m writing my own roleEvery scar a storyEvery fall a roadBreaking every barrierTaking back control
