Verse 1 Never raised your hand You didn't need to You had subtle ways Of making me see through Myself Took the mirror down So I'd only see your reflection Made me small enough to fit Inside your need for protection Pre-Chorus No bruises to show No marks to prove Just a woman slowly Disappearing from the room Chorus You stripped me away So I would stay Made me believe I was nothing To make you feel like something Feared my power So your words became your weapon Verse 2 I stopped wearing colour Stopped taking up space Stopped laughing too loud Stopped showing my face To the world You called it love But love doesn't need you hollow Love doesn't feed on everything You're afraid to swallow Pre-Chorus No bruises to show No marks to prove Just a woman slowly Disappearing from the room Chorus stripped me away So I would stay Made me believe I was nothing To make you feel like something Feared my power Your words became your weapon Bridge And the worst part I believed you 8 long years I handed you the scissors Watched you cut me away what you didn't count on what you couldn't take The thing you tried to bury Was still there Still awake Outro That woman survived What most wouldn't name walked through the fire And never looked the same she flipped the script middle finger to the air took her power back wind in her hair dropping labels & fears became who she wanted wild and free my secret weapon was me
