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
