[Verse 1] You walk in loud Need every room to know You push a shoulder Just to make yours show You count your worth In who you can cut down But your big mouth Still can't hold the crown [Pre-Chorus] I see the hunger Behind your shiny grin You want a mirror That only lets you win But every bruise you hand out Comes back in your own skin [Chorus] Stand on your own Stand on your own You don't get tall By making me small Stand on your own Stand on your own Say what you want I won't fall [Verse 2] You silence the quiet ones Then call it strength You hear a soft voice And you tear at the length You hate the ones Who don't bark back So you swing your shadow And call it fact [Pre-Chorus] I see the hunger Behind your shiny grin You want a mirror That only lets you win But every bruise you hand out Comes back in your own skin [Chorus] Stand on your own Stand on your own You don't get tall By making me small Stand on your own Stand on your own Say what you want I won't fall [Bridge] You can build your throne On other people's bones You can raise your voice Till it fills the whole room But the ones you drown out Still know their own song And the ground you stomp Won't hold you long [Final Chorus] Stand on your own Stand on your own You don't get tall By making me small Stand on your own Stand on your own Say what you want I won't fall Stand on your own Stand on your own Your paper crown Won't last at all
