[Verse 1]
You're like an uninvited guest, oh
Always showing up out of the blue
You only leave me with pain in my chest
But it's been long overdue
[Pre-Chorus]
So, I take a deep breath
Put my foot down
Reminding myself
That I'm stronger now
So, for tonight
I'll say: "Goodbye"
From the top of my lungs
I'ma shout it out
[Chorus]
Hear me now
You won't hold me down
'Cause I stand tall
Through it all
[Post-Chorus]
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me, hear me at all?
[Verse 2]
With every step I take I'm rising up
From under all the weight you put on my shoulders
I'll never let you pull me back, back down again
You've got no power over me
[Pre-Chorus]
I just take a deep breath
Put my foot down
Reminding myself
That I'm stronger now
So, for tonight
I'll say: "Goodbye"
From the top of my lungs
I'ma shout it out
[Chorus]
Hear me now
You won't hold me down
'Cause I stand tall
Through it all
So, can you hear me now?
You won't hold me down
'Cause I stand tall
Through it all
[Post-Chorus]
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me now? (Hear me, yeah)
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me? (Hear me now)
Can you hear me, hear me?
Can you hear me now? (Oh)
Can you hear me, hear me at all?
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'll take a deep breath
Put my foot down
Reminding myself
That I'm stronger now
So, for tonight
I'll say: "Goodbye"
From the top of my lungs
[Chorus]
Hear me now
You won't hold me down
'Cause I stand tall
Through it all
[Outro]
So, can you hear me now?
You won't hold me down
'Cause I stand tall
Through it all
