Lyrics
Every room I walk into I’m counting all the ways
They’ll finally see the cracks in me beneath this painted face
I memorize the part I play rehearse it all night long
But somewhere deep inside of me
A voice says I don’t belong
It says
Who do you think you are
You got lucky that’s all
One wrong move and they’ll see through you
Watch yourself fall
But I keep showing up showing up
Even when that voice gets loud
I may not feel it yet
But I’ve earned my place in the crowd
I’ve been shrinking at the table taking up less space
Smiling through the panic terrified they’ll see my face
Every compliment’s a countdown till they change their mind
But I worked for it all every step of the way
No matter what the voices try to say
It says
Who do you think you are
You got lucky that’s all
One wrong move and they’ll see through you
Watch yourself fall
But I keep showing up showing up
Even when that voice gets loud
I may not feel it yet
But I’ve earned my place in the crowd
I’ve been fighting a war in my own mind
Tearing down walls I built one brick at a time
Maybe I don’t have all the answers maybe that’s okay
The crown was never borrowed
It was always mine to take
So I keep showing up showing up
Let my voice get loud let it scream
I’ve earned every scar every tear everything
I’m not waiting to feel it I’m walking in free
No more letting that inside voice
Define me
