[Intro] [Verse 1] I kept the receipts in a rusted drawer Every promise you made hit the floor You called it a phase, called me a name Now I’m done carrying your weight and blame [Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I’m wide awake for my own sake Let the old walls fall away I’m taking back what you tried to take [Verse 2] Yeah, I came from the room where the ceiling leaked With a cheap black hoodie and a week of sleep You were counting me out, I was counting each scar Turned a dead-end map into a route this far No handout, no halo, no polished disguise Just a pulse in my chest and a fire in my eyes If you want my place, better bring your proof I built mine from the floor, now I’m raising the roof [Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I’m wide awake for my own sake Let the old walls fall away I’m taking back what you tried to take [Breakdown] Cut the chain Kill the doubt When the signal drops I’m breaking out [Instrumental: dubstep drop and guitar solo] [Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I’m wide awake for my own sake Let the old walls fall away I’m taking back what you tried to take [Outro] No more waiting at the door No more being what you wanted me for I’m still here, hear me say I chose myself today
