Permission

I learned to dance with the lights off
So nobody could see me shake
I wore my smile like a weapon
And called every wound a mistake

They told me, “You’ll get used to the silence,
You’ll find your way when you’re older”
But every year that passed
Just made the night a little colder

I don’t want your pity
I don’t need your crown
I spent too many years
Trying not to let you down

Now I’m done being easy to love
Done being small enough to stay
If you only want me when I’m quiet
Then you never knew me anyway

I’m not your pretty little secret
I’m not the girl you keep around
I’ve got thunder in my heartbeat
And I’m finally letting it out

So let the whole room stare
Let them whisper my name
I’ve already survived
Everything they were afraid I’d become

I used to count my failures
Like prayers before I slept
Every door that closed behind me
Left another scar across my chest

But somewhere between the breaking
And everything I couldn’t save
I found a stranger in the mirror
Who was finally brave

She said,
“You don’t have to be forgiven
For becoming who you are.”

And something inside me
Finally stopped falling apart

I’m done being easy to love
Done being small enough to stay
If you only want me when I’m quiet
Then you never knew me anyway

I’m not your pretty little secret
I’m not the girl you keep around
I’ve got thunder in my heartbeat
And I’m finally letting it out

Maybe I was never broken
Maybe I was just asleep
Maybe all those empty spaces
Were the parts I had to keep

Now I don’t chase the light anymore
I carry my own through the dark
And if you want to stand beside me
You better love every scar

I’m done being easy to love
Done asking what I have to change
I would rather lose the whole world
Than lose myself again

So let the night remember me
Let the silence hear me now
I spent my life waiting for permission

I don’t need it anymore.
