Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I got tired of handing over

Every tender part of me

They read the pages of my history

Before they asked what I could be

I walk into a room, they change

Like my name became a warning sign

But I still offer open hands

Even when they close the door on mine

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what they remember

I know the words they use

But they don't know the nights

I fought to make it through

[Chorus]

I'm tired of giving my heart

Just to watch it fall apart

I stand alone, but I still stand

With all this love inside my hands

They judge the past, they doubt today

They see a record, not the change

If I give respect and you give blame

Tell me, why should I feel ashamed?

[Verse 2]

Some see the old me in my face

And never wait for who I've grown

They make a verdict out of silence

Then leave me carrying it home

I learned to sleep beside the questions

Learned to smile when trust got thin

Still I speak to people softly

Though they never let me in

[Pre-Chorus]

I know what they remember

I know the words they use

But they don't know the nights

I fought to make it through

[Chorus]

I'm tired of giving my heart

Just to watch it fall apart

I stand alone, but I still stand

With all this love inside my hands

They judge the past, they doubt today

They see a record, not the change

If I give respect and you give blame

Tell me, why should I feel ashamed?

[Bridge]

Maybe I don't need their permission

To become somebody new

Maybe the proof is in the way

I keep showing up true

And if the room won't make me welcome

I'll make peace with walking out

I can grieve what they denied me

Without becoming what they doubt

[Final Chorus]

I'm tired of giving my heart

But I won't let it turn to stone

I stand alone, and I understand

I can be loved by my own hands

They judge the past, they doubt today

Still I choose the life I made

I give respect, I give my name

And I won't wear somebody else's shame

[Outro]

I won't wear somebody else's shame

I still have love

I still remain
