[Verse 1] I always made sure everybody’s fine, lost myself slowly, crossing every line. Said “yes” way too often, when my heart said “no”, put myself last just to let others grow. I carried their weight, forgave every lie, said “it’s okay” when I wanted to cry. Called them my friends, believed every word, they took and they took till I lost who I was. [Pre-Chorus] Too kind for this world, that’s what I believed, but kindness breaks down when it’s all people need. It took me so long just to finally see: I wasn’t the problem — they fed off of me. [Chorus] Evil wins, and it feels so right, ’cause I finally stand up and choose my side. I say no where I once gave in, I won’t let you use me, break me again. Call me cold, call me proud, say what you want, I’m done standing behind, now I’m up front. Evil wins, but the truth is this: I’m still the same — just not for all of you to miss. [Verse 2] Now I hear them talk, I see how they stare, say “she has changed”, but they never cared. They only see someone who won’t bend anymore, ’cause I finally learned what my worth is for. I give my strength only where it’s real, where hearts don’t just take, where something is shared. If you loved me only while I gave, you’re free to leave — I don’t need you to stay. [Pre-Chorus 2] I don’t wear masks, I don’t play a role, just ’cause you’re mad I reclaimed my soul. I didn’t lose — I broke the chain, and for the first time, I’m not afraid. [Chorus] Evil wins, and it feels so right, ’cause I finally stand up and choose my side. I say no where I once gave in, I won’t let you use me, break me again. Call me cold, call me proud, say what you want, I’m done standing behind, now I’m up front. Evil wins, but the truth is this: I’m still the same — just not for all of you to miss. [Bridge] Maybe I was never too good for this world, I just believed kindness wouldn’t get hurt. But strength doesn’t mean being nice all the time, it means protecting your heart and your mind. [Final Chorus] Evil wins, and I’m still right here, head held high, finally staying sincere. Those who know me, they know it’s true: I kept my heart — I just choose who. Call me whatever, it won’t break my skin, I know who I am when the noise wears thin. Evil wins, and for the first time I see: I’m better, I’m stronger — and finally free. ohhhhhhhhhhhh [spoken word] "Evil wins" ahhhh...hmmmmm
