Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me
[Verse 2]
So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for
[Verse 3]
So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down
No, oh oh
Throw away the key
I dare you
Oh oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
[Verse 4]
I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right
[Verse 5]
But I, I, I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle, but I won the war
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for, for, for, for
[Verse 6]
So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down
No, oh oh
Throw away the key
I dare you
Oh oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
[Verse 7]
I just kept on running, running, running
Trying to find out who I was
I would go the distance, but it wasn't far enough
But now, I'm standing straight
And know exactly who I am
Yeah-hey, yeah-hey
[Verse 8]
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
[Verse 9]
Put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down
No, oh oh
Throw away the key
I dare you
Oh oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
I won't let you tear me down, no
I won't let you tear me down, no
Oh
