I can remember a time when I was so afraid
When even my shadow wouldn't follow meSo I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, forSo put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, noI had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was rightBut I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
'Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, forSo put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, noI just kept on running, running, running
Trying to find out who I was
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
Yeah, yeah
I can remember a time when I was so afraidPut me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A higher wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no, oh, oh
Throw away the key
I dare you, oh, oh
And I won't let you tear me down, no
