[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning light,
The shadows creep, they're holding tight.
A voice inside, it cuts me deep,
A constant whisper, it never sleeps.
[Chorus]
Hey, inner critic, you won't win,
I've had enough, I won't give in.
I'll rise above this endless fight,
Find my strength, step into the light.
[Verse 2]
Facing mirrors, the truth feels cold,
Every flaw that I've been told.
But deep within, there's a fire bright,
I’ll learn to speak, I'll claim my right.
[Chorus]
Hey, inner critic, you won't win,
I've had enough, I won't give in.
I'll rise above this endless fight,
Find my strength, step into the light.
[Bridge]
Take a breath, let it out,
Silence that familiar doubt.
I’m more than what you've made me see,
I’ll break the chains and set me free.
[Chorus]
Hey, inner critic, you won't win,
I've had enough, I won't give in.
I'll rise above this endless fight,
Find my strength, step into the light.
[Outro]
So here I stand, I'm not afraid,
This journey’s mine, the price I've paid.
With every word, I’m taking flight,
Goodbye forever, to you, goodnight.
