Intro

(uh)

Mm-hm

Verse 1

You said I'd never make it past this town

Said dreaming was a luxury for people who don't drown

Well, look at me now standing taller than your doubt

Every word you used to cut me, I spit back out

I kept the receipts, kept the scars too

Built a whole career out of proving you

Wrong about the girl you tried to keep small

Now I'm the headline, now I've got it all

Pre-Chorus

So go ahead and watch me on your screen

(on your screen, on your screen)

Living out the life you said I'd never see

(on your screen, on your screen)

Chorus

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

I turned every closed door into a stage

This is the sound of a woman knowing her own age

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

Verse 2

You wanted quiet, you wanted me to fold

But I was never built to do what I'm told

Every no you gave me turned into fuel

Every rule you set, I broke the rule

I don't need your blessing, didn't need it then

Watch me build a life you can't comprehend

You can keep your version of who I should be

I already wrote my own history

Pre-Chorus

So go ahead and watch me on your screen

(on your screen, on your screen)

Living out the life you said I'd never see

(on your screen, on your screen)

Chorus

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

I turned every closed door into a stage

This is the sound of a woman knowing her own age

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

Bridge

Told me no

(told me no)

Watched me grow

(watched me grow)

Funny how the ones who doubted

Are the loudest at the show

Chorus

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

I turned every closed door into a stage

This is the sound of a woman knowing her own age

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what doubt looks like when it learns to fly

(uh, oh-oh)

This is what happens when you tell a girl no, and she asks why

Outro

(uh)

Learns to fly

Mm-hm
