YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD BREAK ME [INTRO — SPOKEN, LOW AND ANGRY] You think you can intimidate me, Yell over me, shut me down. You think if you make enough noise, You'll be the one who wears the crown. Well, Cliff, I've got news for you. I'm not backing down. [VERSE 1] I came into this marriage believing your lies, Now I'm looking at the truth behind your eyes. You twist every question, turn every blame, And somehow I'm the one who's supposed to feel shame. You raise your voice like that makes you right, Talk over my words till I give up the fight. But silence ain't surrender, and fear ain't respect, And I'm not done asking what you won't admit yet. [PRE-CHORUS] You think you've won because I can't make you see, That every damn excuse just brings more doubt to me. You've made up your mind, you've locked the door, And the truth is the one thing you can't ignore. [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE, GRITTY COUNTRY ROCK] You can't shout the truth away, You can't make the night look like the day. You can't wear that crown of lies And call yourself the king of my life. You think you can break me, make me crawl, Make me feel like nothing, make me take the fall. But I'm still standing, and I'm still around, You can scream all you want — I won't stay down! [VERSE 2] I've shown you the numbers, I've shown you the names, The messages, the patterns, the never-ending games. And every time I ask you to explain what I see, You turn around and point your finger at me. Now somehow I'm the mastermind, the one who made it all, The one behind the messages, the reason for the fall. I'm supposed to believe that I imagined every sign, While you keep changing stories and expect me to be blind. [PRE-CHORUS 2] But I can't prove the truth to someone who won't hear, Someone who'd rather blame me than face what he fears. You've already decided what you're willing to believe, So what good is the truth if you refuse to see? [CHORUS — BIGGER, HARDER] You can't shout the truth away, You can't make the night look like the day. You can't wear that crown of lies And call yourself the king of my life. You think you can break me, make me crawl, Make me feel like nothing, make me take the fall. But I'm still standing, and I'm still around, You can scream all you want — I won't stay down! [BRIDGE — SPOKEN, COLD AND DIRECT] You want to know what hurts the most, Cliff? It's not just what I found. It's watching you look me in the face And act like I'm the one who's tearing this marriage down. You don't get to rewrite my reality. You don't get to tell me what I've seen. And you don't get to silence me Just because the truth is inconvenient. I'm your wife. I'm a human being. And I deserved honesty. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL POWER] You can't shout the truth away, You can't bury the past and call it a day. You can build your walls, you can slam that door, But I won't be the woman you silence anymore. Keep your crown, keep your throne, Keep pretending you're the victim alone. You wanted a woman who'd never make a sound, But the one you tried to break is still standing her ground! [OUTRO — SPOKEN, QUIET AND UNBREAKABLE] You think the loudest voice gets the final say. It doesn't. And you might never admit the truth to me. But that doesn't mean I have to stop believing what I've seen.
