I can remember a time when I was so afraid

When even my shadow wouldn't follow me.

So 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, for...

So 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

Throw away the key

I dare you

And I won't let you tear me down, no...

I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind

And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right.

But 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, for...

So 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

Throw away the key

I dare you

And I won't let you tear me down, no.

I 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 afraid.

So 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

Throw away the key

I dare you

And I won't let you tear me down, no...
