Taking My Voice Back

Ler me paint a picture
Of a ten year old girl
That tried to say no
Had to hide from the world

Innocent, blameless
But carrying shame
telling herself
She’d be okay

Gotta let go
Gotta let go

I’m taking my voice back
I’m writing my song
Nothing can stop me
I’m gonna move on
Gonna learn to forgive you
You’ve taken enough
Though I feel alone here
I know that I’m not
I’m taking my voice back

So scared of the moments
Tryin to escape
Afraid if she told
She’d be the one to blame

She’d better keep quiet
And bury the pain
Keep telling herself
She’d be okay

Gotta let go
Gotta let go

I’m taking my voice back
I’m writing my song
Nothing can stop me
I’m gonna move on
Gonna learn to forgive you
You’ve taken enough
Though I feel alone here
I know that I’m not
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
Oh, oh, oh, oh

There’s freedom on the other side
Freedom from the pain you hide
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There’s freedom when you let it out
Tell your story, tell it now
Oh, oh, oh
Even though the memory still hurts
This song is for the other little girls

You’re taking your voice back
You’re writing your song
Nothing can stop you
You’re gonna move on
Gonna learn to forgive them
They’ve taken enough
Though you feel alone here
Just know that your not

I’m taking my voice back
I’m writing my song
Nothing can stop me
I’m gonna move on
Gonna learn to forgive you
You’ve taken enough
Though I feel alone here
I know that I’m not
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I’m taking my voice back
You’re taking your voice back
