Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I put my trust in you, let you inside my mind,
Laid bare my every fear, my hopes, my dreams confined.
But you tore me down, piece by fragile piece,
Till I was left in ruins, craving my release.
[Verse 2]
Every broken promise, every shattered word,
Built the walls around me, where silence was heard.
But from the ashes, stronger did I rise,
No longer bound by tears, no longer paralyzed.
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you had me beaten, left in disarray,
But I found my strength in the light of a new day.
[Chorus]
I’m tempered by the fire, no longer afraid,
Independent and fierce, by my own hands, I'm made.
You broke me down, but I rebuilt my soul,
Now I stand tall, complete and whole.
No more expectations, I trust in me alone,
Self-reliant and strong, my heart’s become my home.
But in the quiet moments, when I’m on my own,
I still feel the scars of the love I’ve outgrown.
[Hook]
I’m standing tall, I’m standing free,
The past won’t chain or define me.
[Verse 3]
I’ve learned to walk alone, on paths that I create,
No longer seeking comfort at someone else’s gate.
Your lies made me weary, but I wear them like a crown,
The queen of my own story, I’ll never again bow down.
[Verse 4]
But in the shadows, doubts begin to creep,
A guarded heart makes love too hard to keep.
Because of you, it’s harder to let others in,
The fortress of my heart has grown thick-skinned.
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you had me beaten, left in disarray,
But I found my strength in the light of a new day.
[Chorus]
I’m tempered by the fire, no longer afraid,
Independent and fierce, by my own hands, I'm made.
You broke me down, but I rebuilt my soul,
Now I stand tall, complete and whole.
No more expectations, I trust in me alone,
Self-reliant and strong, my heart’s become my home.
But in the quiet moments, when I’m on my own,
I still feel the scars of the love I’ve outgrown.
[Hook]
I’m standing tall, I’m standing free,
The past won’t chain or define me.
[Bridge]
Every scar is a story, every tear is a tale,
Of how I rose above when love seemed to fail.
I’ve found my power in the pain you gave,
Now I’m the author of the love I crave.
[Refrain]
I’m tempered by the fire, no longer afraid,
Independent and fierce, by my own hands, I'm made.
You broke me down, but I rebuilt my soul,
Now I stand tall, complete and whole.
No more expectations, I trust in me alone,
Self-reliant and strong, my heart’s become my home.
But in the quiet moments, when I’m on my own,
I still feel the scars of the love I’ve outgrown.
[Outro]
I’m stronger now, and though the past is part of me,
I choose the path ahead, where my heart’s finally free.
I’m standing tall, I’m standing free,
The past won’t chain or define me.
Define me.
