Lyrics
I felt tiny for the longest time
I experienced a prolonged period of feeling insignificant.
Written off before I started, never let myself try
I was dismissed or discounted from the beginning and didn't allow myself to attempt new things.
cnd I've been angry at the whole damn world
I harbored anger towards the entire world.
'Cause I assumed it hated me, the way I hated myself
I assumed the world disliked me as much as I disliked myself.
If I'm not in my corner, then no one's gonna fight for me
If I don't advocate for myself, nobody else will.
Won't let it pull me under, I'm gonna swim the whole damn sea
I won't let challenges drag me down; I'll overcome them with determination.
I'm never gonna grow if I won't give myself the space
I need to give myself the opportunity to grow by not hindering my own progress.
'Cause getting in the way has always been my biggest mistake
Acting as an obstacle in my own path has consistently been my major error.
I wear my emotions on my sleeve
I openly express my feelings.
cnd I always hated that, 'cause I thought it made me weak
I disliked displaying my emotions because I believed it portrayed me as weak.
Found so many ways to put me down
Others found various ways to criticize or diminish me.
But there's no winning there, and I'm not breaking now
Despite the criticisms, I won't be defeated; I'm resilient.
If I'm not in my corner, then no one's gonna fight for me
Without self-advocacy, there won't be anyone supporting me.
Won't let it pull me under, I'm gonna swim the whole damn sea
I won't let challenges overwhelm me; I'll confront them head-on.
I'm never gonna grow if I won't give myself the space
I must provide myself with the space to develop and evolve.
'Cause getting in the way has always been my biggest mistake
Acting as an impediment to my own progress is a recurring and significant mistake.
Has always been my biggest mistake
Consistently hindering my own progress has been my most significant mistake.
If I'm not in my corner, then no one's gonna fight for me
Without self-advocacy, there won't be anyone supporting me.
Won't let it pull me under, I'm gonna swim the whole damn sea
I won't let challenges overwhelm me; I'll confront them head-on.
I'm never gonna grow if I won't give myself the space
I must provide myself with the space to develop and evolve.
'Cause getting in the way has always been my biggest mistake
Acting as an impediment to my own progress is a recurring and significant mistake.
