[1st verse:] Silence, but I still hear noise Same words, but a different voice You've left me with no choice You've gotta get out You say you don't know what you did to me But you won't get off that easily 'Cause I've gotta be free And you've gotta get out [Pre-chorus:] I know I'm not in the same room as before But I still feel like I've gotta lock my door I shouldn't have to feel this unsafe anymore But it's so hard when [Chorus:] When it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back to the bottom When it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back, oh! [2nd verse:] Those memories crawl under my skin You don't know the kind of state I'm in I want back what's mine again Yeah, I wanna have it now 'Cause I got a lot to say to you And you've got a lot of explaining to do I know nothing is ever true with you [Pre-chorus:] I know I'm not in the same room as before But I still feel like I've gotta lock my door I shouldn't have to feel this unsafe anymore But it's so hard when [Chorus:] When it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back to the bottom When it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back, oh! [Bridge:] Am I crazy? Am I maybe losing it? I feel like I've gotta get Out of my mind Don't go there I won't go there Don't take me back there I don't wanna press rewind [Chorus:] But it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back to the bottom When it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back Yeah it keeps on takin' me back, oh! [Outro:] Am I crazy? Am I maybe losing it? I feel like I've gotta get Out of my mind Don't go there I won't go there Don't take me back there I don't wanna press rewind

[1st verse:] We walk to the moon and the sun We don't talk with our teeth wrapped around our tongue We bow down to no one And we'll hold our heads up We fight for our right to just breathe While you take it for granted that you can leave The weight of the world at our feet But we'll hold our heads up [Pre-chorus:] So, let's run, run, run Girls wanna have some fun, right? Run, run, run Until we're done [Chorus:] Girls like us Don't know when to quit Girls like us Are so sick of it Girls like us Won't back down 'til it's over Girls like us Take in everything Girls like us Dabble in sin Girls like us Will tell ya to get over it [2nd verse]: We're loud and frustrated too We're not afraid to make our move We don't care if you think we're too much 'Cause we'll hold our heads up [Pre-chorus:] So, let's run, run, run Girls wanna have some fundamental rights! Run, run, run Until we're done [Chorus:] Girls like us Don't know when to quit Girls like us Are so sick of it Girls like us Won't back down 'til it's over Girls like us Take in everything Girls like us Dabble in sin Girls like us Will tell ya to get over it [Bridge]: So, we'll run, and we'll run, and we'll run to the end Of the world, that tries to cage us in And we'll run, and we'll run, and we'll run And we're coming for you, yeah [Chorus:] Girls like us Don't know when to quit Girls like us Are just so damn sick of it! Girls like us Won't back down 'til it's over Girls like us Take in everything Girls like us Dabble in sin Girls like us Will tell ya to get over it [Outro]: So, we'll run, and we'll run, and we'll run to the end Of the world, that tries to cage us in Yeah, we'll run, and we'll run, and we'll run And we're coming for you, yeah

[1st verse:] If these walls could talk They'd recite you an elegy For your insecurities All those memories that keep haunting If these lights had hands Oh, they'd write you an allegory To showcase your misery That you keep on taking out on me [Pre-chorus:] So don't patronize me I'm not here for your story Don't minimize me I'm not here to say "sorry" [Chorus:] I'll put one foot in front of the other Even when you try to pull me under If it rains fire, I'll take cover One inhale free And then you're And then you're And then you're And then you're gone [2nd verse:] Well if I can stand on my own two feet then maybe I'll make it out of here in one piece No, don't you worry about me I know you didn't ask, but I'll be just fine [Pre-chorus:] So don't patronize me I'm not here for your story Don't minimize me I'm not here to say "sorry" [Chorus:] I'll put one foot in front of the other Even when you try to pull me under If it rains fire, I'll take cover One inhale free And then you're And then you're And then you're And then you're gone [Bridge:] Stop criticizing me I'm not here for you to exorcise Your demons onto me I don't need your pity I don't need your fake-empathy I just need to be me [Pre-chorus:] So don't patronize me I'm not here for your story Don't minimize me I'm not here to say "sorry" [Chorus:] I'll put one foot in front of the other Even when you try to pull me under If it rains fire, I'll take cover One inhale free And then you're And then you're And then you're And then you're gone

[1st verse:] Frozen knuckles I can't speak No time to leave only time to weep Sorrows bleed out on the sheets The creases never seem to stop their seeping [Pre-chorus:] And in my bed I'm barely sleeping And in my head there's all this screaming And all I feel is a numbness that swallows me And I can't take it any longer They say this hell will make me stronger How would I know, when it's my ghosts that follow me? [Chorus:] Glory, oh Won't you find me, oh Some time Some peace of mind Glory, oh Won't you try to Hold on tight Just send me some light Just lead the way Lead the way [2nd verse:] They say to leave the past in the past, but How can I let go when these scars last? I know damn well it's all in my mind But that don't make it hurt no less, I find [Pre-chorus:] I'm in my bed I'm barely sleeping And in my head there's all this screaming And all I feel is a numbness that swallows me And I can't take it any longer They say this hell will make me stronger How would I know, when it's my ghosts that follow me? [Chorus:] Glory, oh Won't you find me, oh Some time Some peace of mind Glory, oh Won't you try to Hold on tight Just send me some light Just lead the way [Bridge:] Are we running out of time Are we running out of time Can we, oh Survive and thrive So just take your time So just take your time You'll be fine, you'll be alright Just stay alive tonight [Pre-chorus:] And in my bed I'm barely sleeping And in my head there's all this screaming And all I feel is a numbness that swallows me And I can't take it any longer They say this hell will make me stronger How would I know, when it's my ghosts that follow me? [Chorus:] Glory, oh Won't you find me, oh Glory, oh Won't you try to Hold on tight Just send me some light [Outro:][4x] Lead the way way way You'll be fine
