You Don't Own Me

I’ll let the city lights
Just guide me home
Stitching up my wounds
Yeah, as I go
I’m fighting, fighting
Blazing through the night
Ain’t looking back
Leaving you behind
Took all I had
I’m fighting, still fighting
So hear me now
I thought you should know
You can take my pride, leave me with the shame
You can talk about me, call me names
You’ll never ever own me
You’ll never ever own me
You don’t own me, no
You don’t own me, no
Set my world on fire
You let me burn
Now watch me as I rise
From ashes of what has been
I’m flying
High above this town
You can’t reach me here
No, I’m not coming down
Though parts of me still bleeding
My heart is open, beating
So hear me now
I need you to know
You can take my pride, leave me with the shame
You can talk about me, call me names
You’ll never ever own me
You’ll never ever own me
You don’t own me, no
You don’t own me, no
Aa-aa-aa, e-e-ee
Aa-aa-aa, e-e-ee
You’ll never ever own me
You’ll never ever own me
You don’t own me, no
You don’t own me, no
Still breathing, hey
I’m still breathing, hey
Still breathing, hey
Still breathing
I’m still breathing
You can take my pride, leave me with the shame
You can talk about me, call me names
You’ll never ever own me
You’ll never ever own me
You don’t own me, no
You don’t own me, no
You can take my pride, leave me with the shame
You can talk about me, call me names
You’ll never ever own me
You’ll never ever own me
You don’t own me, no
You don’t own me, no
