Lyrics
[Intro] Thumb on the string, let the floorboards answer One low note, then the whole room gathers [Verse 1] You talk big from the edge of the room I step in, make a little more room Boots hit hard, every head turns quick I don't need a crown, i just move like this You count your wins like they’re carved in stone I build mine up where the noise gets thrown No borrowed nerve, no secondhand name I walk through the pressure and leave it changed [Chorus] I won't bend when the walls lean in I won't fold when the doubt gets loud You can try to pull me under again I come back with my feet on the ground [Verse 2] Keep your neat little rules in a neat little row I take one look and i already know Where the weak seam hides, where the whole thing splits One sharp turn and the room gets hit I don't chase a seat at your table of kings I bring my own weight, let the whole floor ring Say my name like you mean what you say Then watch me take all the space away [Chorus] I won't bend when the walls lean in I won't fold when the doubt gets loud You can try to pull me under again I come back with my feet on the ground [Bridge] Cut it up, let the old talk scatter No more waiting for it to matter [Breakdown] Down low—hold fast One step—no past You push—i stand I take back the land [Final chorus] I won't bend when the walls lean in I won't fold when the doubt gets loud You can try to pull me under again I come back with my feet on the ground I come back, i come back With my feet on the ground [Outro] One low note, then the whole room answers
