High heels on the hardwood, whiskey in my glass
I’m dancing through the kitchen like the past is just a flash
No more waiting by the phone for a call that never comes
I’m rewriting every chapter with these two middle fingers up
Mirror shows a woman who’s done playing small
Got the fire in my veins and I’m feeling ten feet tall
They said I needed saving, but I saved myself instead
Now I’m walking through the fire with a smile on my head
They used to try and put me in a pretty little box
But I burned the damn thing down and I never looked back
I’m the storm they never saw coming through!
Heart wide open, nothing left to lose!
I don’t need a hero, I became my own!
Standing in the ashes of the life I left alone!
Yeah, I shine so reckless, I burn so bright
Call me trouble, call me wild, call me everything that’s right!
I’m the storm, baby — watch me take the night!
Friends keep asking if I’m lonely on my own
I just laugh and turn the music up and let the night take hold
Got my own name on the lease and the keys in my hand
I’m the only one who’s driving this life exactly how I planned
No more shrinking just to make somebody stay
I outgrew every version that they tried to make me play
They used to try and put me in a pretty little box
But I burned the damn thing down and I never looked back
I’m the storm they never saw coming through!
Heart wide open, nothing left to lose!
I don’t need a hero, I became my own!
Standing in the ashes of the life I left alone!
Yeah, I shine so reckless, I burn so bright
Call me trouble, call me wild, call me everything that’s right!
I’m the storm, baby — watch me take the night!
And when the quiet tries to pull me back again
I remember who I am and let the new me win
No more dimming down for anyone’s comfort
This version of me is pure thunder
I’m the storm they never saw coming through! (coming through!)
Heart wide open, nothing left to lose!
I don’t need a hero, I became my own!
Standing in the ashes of the life I left alone!
Yeah, I shine so reckless, I burn so bright
Call me trouble, call me wild — watch me own the light!
I’m the storm, baby — watch me take the night!
Yeah… I’m the storm…
Watch me take the night…
