[Verse 1] Grew up with stories not my own Voices louder than my own tone Every chapter felt the same Just a shadow without a name [Prechorus] But I won’t play that part again This is where my truth begins [Chorus] Author of me, I write the line Tear the page and redefine Author of me, I choose the key No one else will write my story [Verse 2] Fairytales that cracked and broke Legends fading into smoke Every word they placed on me I’m erasing, finally free [Prechorus] No more scripts I have to read This is what I really need [Chorus] Author of me, I write the line Tear the page and redefine Author of me, I choose the key No one else will write my story [Bridge] Ink and fire, pen to hand Building worlds where I can stand Ink and fire, let it be Every line belongs to me [Chorus] Author of me, I write the line Tear the page and redefine Author of me, I choose the key No one else will write my story
