Standing in the wreckage of a life I didn't choose
Every word you handed me became a bruise
I swallowed all your silence like it kept me safe
But I was only burning in a borrowed cage
I've been bending so long I forgot I could break
Every apology you owe me — too little,
too late
Whatever! I don't need your reasons anymore
Whatever! I've been locked behind every door And I rise — like
something you can't ignore Whatever! (ohhhh)
You built your throne on everything I gave away
Counted all my cracks and called it love someday
I kept the faith while you rewrote the truth Now I'm reclaiming
every broken piece of proof
I've been holding my breath for the very last time
Every wall you built around me — I'm tearing the line
Whatever!
I don't need your reasons anymore
Whatever! I've been locked behind every door And I rise — like
something you can't ignore Whatever! (ohhhh)
I was the quiet
You counted on forever
Now watch me burn through
Every single tether (ahhhhh
— ahhhhh)
Whatever! I don't need your reasons anymore
Whatever! I've been locked behind every door And I rise — like
something you can't ignore Whatever!
Whatever! (ohhhh —
yeahhh) (ohhhh)
