for: Olivia
I used to play small, fade into a shadow Waiting on a maybe, hiding my halo Gave away power as if it had no worth Nothing was mine Never came first Done with the silence Done with the pleas Getting up off of my spiritual knees Look at the girl that I used to be She's running the show now Baby, that's me Something's building, feel it in my chest I'm done settling for less I don't need a man to hold the light I am the fire burning through the night They told me I was half, but I'm the whole damn thing Cut the wires - I pull the strings Full speed, baby, shifting the gear And it only gets bigger from here They can't do it, can't do it like I can Watch me run the world, I've got a better plan Yeah, they can't do it like I can Got my girls around me, don't need an audience But when I grab the mic, you'll lose your confidence Didn't need saving I wrote my own story Didn't ask permission To step into my glory Spark in the rhythm Gold in my hand I'm doing it better than you ever can Turn up the pressure, feeling the rise My inner goddess is finally alive I used to wait for a yes or a maybe Now I'm the boss, the star, the lady They told me I was half, but I'm the whole damn thing Cut the wires - I pull the strings Full speed, baby, shifting the gear And it only gets bigger from here I'm the fire and the rain I'm the pleasure and the pain I'm the master of the game You'll remember the face You'll remember the name They told me I was half, but I'm the whole damn thing Cut the wires - I pull the strings Full speed, baby, shifting the gear And it only gets bigger from here Melted down swords, created a throne Built an empire, all on my own Turn the lights up, let it sing Said I was half, but I'm everything No They can't do it They can't do it like I can
