Riot Heartburn

You used to tell me who to be,

You used to think you knew me.

But there's a fire inside my chest,

And I'm done with trying to impress.

You said be quiet,

you said sit down,

You thought I'd never make a sound.

You thought I'd always play along,

But I've been finding my voice all along.

I made mistakes, I've learned a lot,

I'm not the person that you thought.

I have a mind,

I have a name,

And I'm not here to play your game!

I'M DONE WITH HIDING!

I'M DONE WITH FEAR!

I'VE GOT A VOICE,

AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR!

I'M NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!

I'M NOT THE SAME AS I WAS BEFORE!

YOU CAN'T KEEP TELLING ME WHO TO BE!

THERE'S A WHOLE NEW SIDE YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE!

I'M STANDING

TALL!

I'M BREAKING THROUGH! I'M FINDING MYSELF,

AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU!

I don't need permission to dream,

I don't need to fit your scene.

I can be different,

I can be loud,

I don't need to follow the crowd.

You might not understand my way,

But that won't make me turn away.

I'm still learning, that's alright,

I'm gonna keep on shining bright!

I know I'm young,

I know I'll grow,

There's so much more that I don't know.

But one thing I

can promise you,

I'll keep discovering

what I can do.

I'M NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE!!!

I'M NOT AFRAID TO OPEN THAT DOOR!!!

I'VE GOT A VOICE!

I'VE GOT A DREAM!

I'M MORE THAN WHAT YOU THOUGHT I'D BE!

I'M STANDING TALL! I'M BREAKING THROUGH!

THE NEXT CHAPTER'S

MINE TO

CHOOSE!!!

I'M NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL

ANYMOOOOOORE!!!
