Done Taking Hits

You spent years telling me stay in my place Keep my mouth shut and a smile on my face Every mistake got thrown in my name But you never had the guts to carry the blame I'm sick of the lectures Sick of the doubt Sick of the hands trying to push me around You built your throne out of rumors and fear Now watch that whole thing disappear You thought I'd bend You thought I'd break You thought I'd drown Under the weight You got it wrong I'M DONE TAKING HITS I won't kneel I won't bow You don't control me now I'M DONE TAKING HITS You lit the fuse You made this sound Now watch me burn the whole thing down Every cheap shot Every backhanded grin Every time you talked like I would never win Every closed door Every line in the sand Built the person standing here instead Now the pressure don't scare me The damage is done You created a problem you can't outrun And every word that you used as a chain Just became fuel for the flame You thought I'd quit You thought I'd fade You thought I'd stay Exactly the same You got it wrong I'M DONE TAKING HITS I won't kneel I won't bow You don't control me now I'M DONE TAKING HITS You lit the fuse You made this sound Now watch me burn the whole thing down Enough! Enough! Enough! I SAID ENOUGH! Every scar Every bruise Every lie Every excuse You built the monster Now deal with it I spent years trying to be Everything you wanted from me Now I'd rather be hated Than become somebody I don't recognize I'M DONE TAKING HITS I won't kneel I won't bow You don't get to control me now I'M DONE TAKING HITS You lit the fuse You made this sound Now watch me burn the whole thing down You got it wrong You got it wrong You got it wrong Now deal with it
