The Whole Damn Room (versie 2)

Intro

(oh)

Mm, yeah

Verse 1

Grew up watching everybody else shine bright

Learned to dim myself down to keep the peace at night

Smaller voice, smaller dreams, smaller seat at the table

Told myself that's just how it's gonna be, stable

But there's a fire in my chest that won't lay down

Tired of shrinking just to fit this town

I'm done apologizing for the space I take

Watch me build a life with my own two hands to make

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel the old me fading out

Stepping into everything I'm about

Chorus

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

I'm not a whisper, I'm a headline in the making

Watch the ground shift with the moves I'm finally taking

(oh, oh-oh)

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

(oh, oh-oh)

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

Verse 2

Used to ask permission just to take a breath

Now I'm claiming every corner that I've got left

Stopped waiting for somebody to say I'm enough

Learned the hard way that confidence is a kind of rough

I'm not perfect, not polished, not always graceful

But I'm honest, I'm here, and I'm finally faithful

To the version of me I almost left behind

She's loud now, she's free now, she's mine

Pre-Chorus

And I can feel the old me fading out

Stepping into everything I'm about

Chorus

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

I'm not a whisper, I'm a headline in the making

Watch the ground shift with the moves I'm finally taking

(oh, oh-oh)

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

(oh, oh-oh)

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

Bridge

No more small

(no more small)

No more quiet

(no more quiet)

I was never meant to whisper

I was built to start a riot

Chorus

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

I'm not a whisper, I'm a headline in the making

Watch the ground shift with the moves I'm finally taking

(oh, oh-oh)

I'm taking up the whole damn room tonight

(oh, oh-oh)

Done dimming down to make somebody else feel right

Outro

(oh)

The whole damn room

Mm, yeah
