This Life Is Mine歌词

Mirror can you hear me

Do I reach you

Are you even listening

Can I get through

There's a part of me that's desperate for changes

Tired of being treated like a pawn

But there's a part of me that stares back from inside the mirror

Part of me that's scared I might be wrong

That I can't be strong

I've been afraid never standing on my own

I let you be the keeper of my pride

Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own

Listen when I say I swear I've worn today

I will not surrender this life is mine

Amazing how you conquered me chained me in servility and made me see

The world the way you told me to

But I was young and didn't have a way to know the truth

Born to live your legacy

Existing just to fill your needs a casualty

Of this so called family that you have turned into a travesty

But I don't intend to suffer any longer

Here's where your dominion falls apart

I'm shattering the mirror that kept me split in pieces
That stood between my mind and my heart

This is where I'll start

I'm not your pet not another thing you own

I was not born guilty of your crimes

Your riches and your influence can't hold me anymore

I won't be possessed
Burdened by your royal test

I will not surrender
This life is mine

Shame that it took so long to rescue me

From the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree

I guess your training failed you're not in charge I'm free

Your patriarchal prison won't hold me

Now this conversation's finally over
Mirror mirror now we're done

I've pulled myself together now my mind and heart are one

Finally one

I'm not your pet not another thing you own

I was not born guilty of your crimes

Your riches and your influence can't hold me anymore

I won't be possessed

Burdened by your royal test

I will not surrender
This life is mine
