My Own Person lyrics

[Verse 1]
I spent my whole life
Making sacrifices
Putting myself down
To build you up
Lately it's just that
I am tired of fighting
Drinking poison from
Your sacred cup

[Refrain]
I can only blame myself
For not believing
That I could
Make it on my own
Make it on my own
Make it on my own

[Hook]
Holding back on myself
Always choosing you
Keep saying, "I'm sorry"
But was it ever true?
Been holding back on myself
Scared to face the truth
I am my own person
Not a piece of you
I'm not a piece of you
[Verse 2]
I know that you got
A lot of money
Hold it on my head
So I feel small
You're so mean
It's kinda funny
Brick by brick
You build a wall

[Refrain]
Found the strength
To start believing
That I could
Make it on my own
Make it on my own
Make it on my own

[Hook]
Holding back on myself
Always choosing you
Keep saying, "I'm sorry"
But was it ever true?
Been holding back on myself
Scared to face the truth
I am my own person
Not a piece of you
I'm not a piece of you
