Nothing Left To Prove

(mhm-mmm) They wanted quiet when I got loud

Wanted pretty when I got proud

Wanted me sweet when I told the truth

Wanted the girl they remembered

Not the woman standing in these boots They had a picture of

who

I’d be

Funny thing, they never

asked me

I’ve spent enough years explaining

Why I don’t fit inside their frame If I have to apologize

for being myself Then they can learn my name again

I got nothing left to prove

Nothing left to lose I’m done making myself smaller So somebody else

can choose

If you love me,

love me honest If you don’t,

that’s alright too

I’ve got nothing left to prove

Nothing left to prove

(ooh yeah)

I changed my hair,

I changed my clothes

Changed the way I talked around

certain folks Said yes when I

wanted no

Stayed too long

just so I

wouldn’t go

I thought being understood

Meant everybody had to like me

Now I know better

I’ve spent enough years explaining

Every scar and every choice

If somebody needs me quieter

They can find somebody else to hear their voice (yeah!)

I got nothing left to prove

Nothing left to lose I’m finally taking up the space

I was always scared to use

If you love me,

love me honest If you don’t,

I’ll make it through

I’ve got nothing left to prove

Nothing left to prove (whoa-oh-oh)

Nothing left… Nothing left to prove.
