Break the Mold (Version 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

They built a list of rules before I learned to walk

Told me how to dress, how to act, how to talk

I colored outside every line they ever drew

Got called difficult for just being true

Mama said the world wasn't built for girls like me

Said I'd have to fight for every inch of free

So I sharpened up my voice instead of softening the blow

Decided long ago I wasn't built to go slow

Pre-Chorus

So watch me break the mold they made

(break the mold, break the mold)

I was never gonna play it safe

(break the mold, break the mold)

Chorus

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Call me trouble, call me too much, call me wild

I'd rather burn it down than live a life so mild

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Verse 2

They wanted me quiet, wanted me composed

Wanted me folded up like something pre-imposed

But I was never gonna fit inside their frame

I'd rather be remembered wild than play it tame

Every door they shut, I kicked it down instead

Every line they fed me, I rewrote it in my head

I'm not asking for a seat, I'm building my own table

This is the only kind of peace I'm able

Pre-Chorus

So watch me break the mold they made

(break the mold, break the mold)

I was never gonna play it safe

(break the mold, break the mold)

Chorus

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Call me trouble, call me too much, call me wild

I'd rather burn it down than live a life so mild

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Bridge

Break the mold

(break the mold)

Light the spark

(light the spark)

I was never meant to fade quiet

I was built to leave my mark

Chorus

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Call me trouble, call me too much, call me wild

I'd rather burn it down than live a life so mild

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the riot in the room, I'm the spark in the dark

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm the rule they wrote and broke before I left my mark

Outro

(uh)

Leave my mark

Yeah
