I MOVED QUIET Verse 1 I used to wear my heart Like evidence in court, Answer every question, Fight every false report. Spent too many nights Trying to clear my name, Till I learned some people Need somebody else to blame. Pre-Chorus So I stopped proving. Stopped pursuing. Stopped running after understanding. Chorus I moved quiet. Not because I lost my voice, Because I finally found it. I moved quiet. Stopped explaining every choice To people determined to doubt it. I don't need approval. I don't need permission. If you can't see my worth, That's not my condition. I moved quiet. Hook HEY! I don't chase! I attract! I don't beg! I don't crack! I know who I am! I know what I bring! If they don't see the gold, That don't change a thing! OH-OH-OH! I moved quiet! OH-OH-OH! But I got louder inside! OH-OH-OH! Nothing left to prove! I moved quiet... And changed my life! Verse 2 Funny how the room changes When you quit seeking applause. Funny how the truth shows up When you stop arguing your cause. The ones who love you, Already know. The ones who don't, Won't ever, so... Pre-Chorus I stopped shrinking. Stopped thinking Everybody needed my explanation. Chorus I moved quiet. Not because I had no fire, I just quit wasting the flame. I moved quiet. Stopped carrying opinions That were never mine to claim. I don't need acceptance. I don't need validation. I survived too much To live on hesitation. I moved quiet. Hook (Bigger) HEY! I don't chase! I attract! I don't fold! I don't crack! I know who I am! I know what I bring! If they don't see the gold, That don't change a thing! OH-OH-OH! I moved quiet! OH-OH-OH! But I got louder inside! OH-OH-OH! Nothing left to prove! I moved quiet... And changed my life! Bridge Let them talk. Let them guess. Let them build a story. I spent years Trying to fit inside Somebody else's version of me. Not anymore. The people meant for me Recognize me. Without the explanation. Without the performance. Without the apology. Final Chorus I moved quiet. Not weaker. Not bitter. Just free. Stopped carrying everybody else's Definition of me. And when I quit Trying to convince the world, I finally convinced myself. Final Hook (Drop Everything) HEY! I don't chase! HEY! I don't beg! HEY! I don't shrink! HEY! I don't bend! I know who I am! I know what I bring! If they don't see the gold, That don't change a thing! OH-OH-OH! I moved quiet! OH-OH-OH! Got louder inside! OH-OH-OH! Nothing left to prove! I moved quiet... And that's how I survived.
