Take Up Space

Текст песни

[Verse 1] I am worthy of love Devotion and respect I don’t need to be perfect To know what I deserve I met the girl I made small Kept her quiet for the room Now I’m calling her back Standing taller in the truth [Pre-Chorus] I choose myself anyway I choose myself again What I feel sets the standard For the way you enter in [Chorus] I hold that standard high With grace and no apology I trust my own voice I trust my own knowing No permission, no disguise I was never made to shrink I hold that standard high I take up space [Verse 2] If I say it, I mean it If I want it, I name it I don’t fold to be easy I don’t bend to be praised Every room gets the real me Every day, a little more I’m not here to be palatable I’m here to be sure [Pre-Chorus] I choose myself anyway I choose myself again What I feel sets the standard For the way you enter in [Chorus] I hold that standard high With grace and no apology I trust my own voice I trust my own knowing No permission, no disguise I was never made to shrink I hold that standard high I take up space [Bridge] I let go of the version That made herself small So others could feel easy So others could stand tall Now I stand in my body Open-eyed, unafraid What was hidden is holy And I’m not backing away [Chorus] I hold that standard high With grace and no apology I trust my own voice I trust my own knowing No permission, no disguise I was never made to shrink I hold that standard high I take up space [Outro] I am worthy of love I am worthy of love I trust my own voice I take up space
