Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been walking on eggshells
Trying to keep the peace
You were building your own throne
While you chipped away at me

I kept shrinking my edges
Trying to fit in your frame
But somewhere in the silence
I remembered my own name

[Pre-Chorus]
(Actin' like) I need a thumb-up just to move
(Actin' like) without you I wouldn't know what to do
(Actin' like) you're the only way to life and I should give my praises to you

[Chorus]
Well, amen
It's the end
Yours truly
You won't do this to me
(Amen)

Amen
Won't say it again
Close the door
I'm so far
Now let it be

Amen
Let it be
Amen
Let it go
Amen
Now, I'm in control

Amen
Let it be
Amen
Let it go
Amen
Now, I'm in control
Amen

[Verse 2]
You kept telling your stories
Like they're carved into stone
But power isn't ownership
And I'm better on my own

Now I'm drawing my boundaries
With a fire in my voice
You don't get to define me
I get to make the choice

[Pre-Chorus]
(Actin' like) I need a thumb-up just to move
(Actin' like) without you I wouldn't know what to do
(Actin' like) you're the only way to life and I should give my praises to you

[Chorus]
Well, amen
It's the end
Yours truly
You won't do this to me
(Amen)

Amen
Won't say it again
Close the door
I'm so far
Now let it be

(A-Amen)
Amen
Let it be
(A-Amen)
Amen
Let it go
(A-Amen)
Amen
Now, I'm in control

Amen
Let it be
Amen
Let it go
Amen
Now, I'm in control
Amen
