THE WOMAN I BECAME

Lyrics

[INTRO — MALE LEAD, GRITTY AND CONFIDENT] You don’t know me anymore [FEMALE — SHARP, POWERFUL RESPONSE] Not the woman you knew before! [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD] I played your game, I learned your lies Saw the truth behind your eyes You thought I’d bend, you thought I’d break Now look at me — your big mistake! [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING INTENSITY] You pushed too hard, now watch me rise There’s a fire you can’t disguise I’m standing tall, I’m taking aim You won’t ever break me again! [CHORUS — MALE LEAD WITH POWERFUL FEMALE HARMONIES] Got the fire, got the flame You tried to break me, made me tough [BRIEF INSTRUMENTAL PAUSE — GUITARS AND DRUMS BUILD] I wear my scars like a crown Ain’t nobody bringing me down You made the rules, I changed the game Now face the woman I became! [VERSE 2 — MALE LEAD, GRITTY WITH SWAGGER] I don’t back down, I don’t play nice I don’t give a damn what you think at all Got my own rules, got my own way I’m not the woman you can push around today! [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING INTENSITY] You pushed too hard, now watch me rise There’s a fire you can’t disguise I’m standing tall, I’m taking aim You won’t ever break me again! [CHORUS — MALE LEAD WITH POWERFUL FEMALE HARMONIES] Got the fire, got the flame You tried to break me, made me tough [BRIEF INSTRUMENTAL PAUSE — GUITARS AND DRUMS BUILD] I wear my scars like a crown Ain’t nobody bringing me down You made the rules, I changed the game Now face the woman I became! [BRIDGE — GRITTY MALE LEAD WITH FEMALE RESPONSES] [MALE] You had your chance, you had your say [FEMALE] Those days are dead and gone! [MALE] You thought I’d never find my strength [FEMALE] Now look who’s standing strong! [BOTH] I took the pieces, made them mine Now watch me cross that finish line! [SHORT MELODIC 80s-STYLE ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO] [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH VOICES, FULL POWER] Got the fire, got the flame You tried to break me, made me tough [BRIEF PAUSE — FULL BAND SLAMS BACK IN] I wear my scars like a crown Ain’t nobody bringing me down You made the rules, I changed the game Now face the woman I became! [OUTRO — BOTH VOICES, BIG FINAL HIT] Now face the woman I became!
