LYRIC FOR SALE

By Melissa Mashburn

Verse 1

I walked through hell with my boots laced tight,

Carried weight that stole my light.

They whispered low, tried to shame my name,

Tried to make me wear their blame.



But I stepped out of the dark, into the flame,

Looked the world dead on and said—

“Honey, you gon’ remember my name.”







Pre-Chorus

I cut the ropes, I broke the chains,

I ain’t livin’ small again—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Verse 2

I stitched my scars in every song I wrote,

Turned every bruise into a victory note.



You tried to tell me I’d never be enough,

But look at me now—I’m built from the rough.



Faced my demons, let ‘em go,

Now I walk tall, let it show—







Pre-Chorus 2

You tried to bury me in dirt and doubt,

But I came back stronger now—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Bridge

You thought I’d crumble? Honey please—

I’m built from truth and Georgia trees.



I’m the storm, I’m the spark, I’m the wild you fear,

I’m the woman who made it outta here.



You don’t get to judge my past—

I outgrew you, I outlast.







Final Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — washed the old me away,

Found a brand new woman in the mess you made.



Every scar I carry shines brighter now,

I turned that pain into power somehow.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t ashamed—

I lit my life up from the flames—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And I’ll never be the same.







Outro

So let the sky open up,

Let the storm roll through…

‘Cause baby I’m still standin’—

And there ain’t nothin’ you can do.
