I WASN’T LEGENDARY UNTIL YOU

(YOU BELIEVED IN ME) (Intro — dirty blues guitar hook, thick bass groove, boot stomps, punchy drums) (Female Lead — smoky, amused) I used to make myself smaller So nobody had to make room Kept every spark under cover Like fire was something to lose I called myself ordinary You looked at me like, “That’s cute.” I said, “There ain’t much here worth saving.” You said, “Bullshit. I see you.” (Bass walks forward, guitar answers vocal) (Female Lead) I laughed it off You doubled down I hid my fire You called it out Every damn time I said, “Not me” You leaned right in— (Female Backing Vocals) Just wait and see. (Chorus — full Southern hard rock groove, wide guitars, driving drums) (Female Lead — powerful) You believed in me When I couldn't see A single damn thing worth believing underneath You gave that little mouse A reason to bare her teeth Then stood there smiling When she grew too big to keep (Female Gang Vocals) YOU BELIEVED IN ME! (Female Lead) Yeah, you believed in me And somewhere in between Who I thought I was And who you knew I'd be— (Female Lead + Gang Vocals) I STARTED BELIEVING ME! (Post-Chorus — blues guitar lick, stomps, bass swagger) (Female Lead — laughing) Well... that was your first mistake. (Verse 2 — heavier guitars, funky bass movement, sharp drum stops) (Female Lead — cockier) You fed my confidence breakfast Then handed my ego dessert Told me to quit asking permission To know exactly what I'm worth I learned how to walk in a room Like maybe the room should adjust Turns out the mouse had an appetite And, baby, you fed her too much (Male Support — dry) Way too much. (Female Lead) Oh, hush. (Guitar stab, drum stop) (Female Lead) I found my voice I found my bite Stopped apologizing For taking up space in my own damn life You saw the monster waking up And instead of running away— (Female Lead — teasing) You said— (Male Support) About damn time. (Chorus — heavier drums, gang vocals) (Female Lead) You believed in me When I couldn't see The woman staring back was everything I'd need You gave that little mouse A reason to bare her teeth Then cheered the loudest When the monster got released (Female Gang Vocals) YOU BELIEVED IN ME! (Female Lead) Yeah, you believed in me Till somewhere in between The monster I became And the woman underneath— (Female Lead + Gang Vocals) I STARTED BELIEVING ME! (Instrumental Break — Southern hard-rock guitar solo, blues bends, pounding toms, bass driving harder) (Bridge — cinematic strings enter, low Nordic drums beneath rock groove) (Female Lead — commanding, emotional) But here's the part I need you to know While you were teaching me How high I could go I watched you fall I watched you fight I watched you carry everybody Through the goddamn night And when you couldn't see What I could see in you— (Music drops to bass heartbeat and low drums) (Female Lead — intimate, certain) I believed in you. (Male Support — quiet) And I believed in you. (Female Lead) Maybe that's the secret. (Build — rising drums, guitars, strings, female harmonies) (Female Lead) You didn't build me You didn't make me You just refused To underestimate me You didn't hand me A crown or throne You showed me the fire— (Female Gang Vocals) AND I MADE IT MY OWN! (Final Act — massive cinematic hard rock, crushing guitars, huge drums, Nordic percussion, strings, restrained choir) (Female Lead — powerhouse) I WAS A MOUSE! (Female Gang Vocals) YOU BELIEVED! (Female Lead) I GREW INTO A MONSTER! (Female Gang Vocals) YOU BELIEVED! (Female Lead) I STOOD LIKE A GODDESS! (Female Gang Vocals) YOU BELIEVED! (Female Lead) NOW SAY MY NAME LIKE A LEGEND! (All Vocals) WE BELIEVED! (Final Chorus — arena-sized, soaring female lead) (Female Lead) You believed in me Till I finally could see Everything you swore was always living inside me The mouse found her teeth The monster found her wings The goddess found her throne And now the whole damn world can see (Female Gang Vocals) SHE'S LEGENDARY! (Female Lead) But I know what carried me From nothing in my mind To everything I never thought I'd be You believed in me And I believed in you Now look at what the hell— (All Vocals — massive) WE BELIEVED INTO TRUTH! (Extended Outro — crushing guitars, pounding drums, soaring strings, gang vocals chanting “BELIEVE! BELIEVE! BELIEVE!”) (Hard stop) (Silence) (Female Lead — dry, amused) You know this ego is your fault, right? (Single guitar sting)
