Keep your crown Keep your chains You’ll never put them on me You drew a line across my skin Said, “Stay inside and don’t begin” You gave me words I couldn’t speak A borrowed voice, a painted smile I learned to breathe beneath the weight To hide the fire behind my face You took my silence for defeat But silence doesn’t mean I’m weak I can feel it in my bones Something you will never own Every scar you left behind Only sharpened what was mine Rebel heart Still beating under pressure Rebel heart Getting louder in the dark You can bend me You can bruise me You can try to tear me apart But you’ll never You’ll never own This rebel heart You built your walls around my name Called obedience a safer way You tried to make me fit the shape Of everything I learned to hate I wore the mask, I played the part While every lie became a spark Now every lock begins to shake And every chain is bound to break I can hear it in my blood Like a storm about to come All the anger I denied Is awake and still alive Rebel heart Still beating under pressure Rebel heart Getting louder in the dark You can bend me You can bruise me You can try to tear me apart But you’ll never You’ll never own This rebel heart No master No savior No hands around my throat No promise No punishment Can make me sell my soul I stayed quiet I stayed still That doesn’t mean I lost my will I let you think I let you believe There was nothing left inside of me Now watch me rise Watch me run I’m not the person I’ve become I’m every word I couldn’t say Coming back to make you pay Keep your crown Keep your chains Keep your mercy Keep your blame I would rather stand alone Than live a life that isn’t my own Rebel heart Now breaking through the pressure Rebel heart Like a siren in the dark You can bend me You can bruise me But you’ll never tear me apart I am louder I am stronger Than the fear you left inside You’ll never You’ll never own This rebel heart Still alive Still my own Rebel heart Rebel heart
