[Verse 1] You caught me folding up the daylight Trying to fit the sky inside my hands I wore apologies like old clothes Never asking where you learned to dance Then you smiled like nothing needed fixing Like broken wasn't something that you saw You just leaned into the madness And suddenly I wasn't scared at all [Pre-Chorus] I spent years learning how to disappear Now I'm learning how to stay If the mirror shows a thousand years I'll sing louder than they may [Chorus] I don't need permission to be beautiful I don't need forgiveness just to breathe Every scar's another constellation Every tear's another piece of me If love arrives with open hands It'll find me standing where I am I won't shrink to fit somebody else's dream, no I'll be here anyway [Verse 2] There were voices in the wallpaper Saying, "Do more than they expect." But every heartbeat kept on arguing They never paid me my respect You kissed the corners of my questions Made the thunder feel like summer rain Not because you second guessed them Because you showed I could beat the pain [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is full of open windows Every breeze knows my name I'm done hiding from tomorrow I'm done fanning the flame [Chorus] I don't need permission to be beautiful I don't need forgiveness just to breathe Every scar's another constellation Every tear's another piece of me If love arrives with open hands It'll find me standing where I am I won't shrink to fit somebody else's dream, no I'll be here anyway [Bridge] Come closer You can hear my heartbeat changing time The whisper grew into a wildfire And it still sounds like mine I have loved with empty pockets I have danced through sleepless nights Now you carry every version of myself Into the light Oh... I'm not waiting for the world to tell me who I am Oh... I was always enough for anyone to understand [Chorus] I don't need permission to be beautiful I don't need forgiveness just to breathe Every scar's another constellation Every tear's another piece of me If love arrives with open hands It'll find me standing where I am I won't shrink to fit somebody else's dream Either way... [Outro] I'll be here anyway I'll be here anyway I'll be here anyway I'll be here anyway
