So I want to say a couple things. This song was one of the toughest songs I’ve ever had to write and sing because of certain things that happened last year. I’m not going to name names or expose anyone, but I just want to say that for these past years in high school, I’ve constantly felt awful about myself, my image, and my capabilities in and out of school. What was happening was constantly breaking me down, through small doubts to full-on meltdowns, I felt like I was being treated horribly and that although I put in so much work and effort into the things I loved, it never seemed to be under notice or respect. I worked unbelievably hard every day and tried to be as perfect as possible, but it was just never enough; I was still being pushed aside and being picked on. People were going out of their way to spite me, and I was left feeling like a joke most of the time. I felt so sick of myself every day and it was affecting me. This summer, I wrote this song for myself because I needed to tell myself that those words and feelings from before can never define me and that I am so much more than the perspective of some people. They won’t understand the struggle I’ve gone through, the hard work I’ve put in, or an ounce of my passion for what I love. I am way much more, and I should be proud of it. That judgment can't break me down anymore because I worked so hard for myself. I've had to learn myself that I should be so confident of myself rather than sorry and that these people who've mistreated me, hurt me, and tried to blame me are so insignificant in the long run. And hopefully, I hope anyone going through that same struggle can realize the same thing. You're all freaking bosses. Thanks for listening loves.

Lyrics:
Can’t Break Me

(Verses)

From the start you tried to hurt me
Tried to keep me down
Tried to use your power to drown me out

I pushed myself to work harder
Was I invisible?
Or was that just not enough for your ego

(Pre-Chorus)

You told me lies that I’m just not buying
Saying I’m broken
It’s time for my voice to come out of hiding

You can yell at me and call me worthless
I won’t be listening
Because I know that I don’t deserve this

(Chorus)

No you’ll never break me down
And you’ll never stop my sound
Cause I’ve finally found my worth
You can’t tell me that I’m less that what I am

Down, down, down
Can’t break me
Down, down, down
Can’t break me

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down

(Verses)

Does nobody have worth unless
They’re on your pedestal
Or just making you feel like you’re everything

You made me hate my reflection
When I’m a work of art
Karma’s gonna have fun when it comes to you

(Pre-chorus)

I’m taking back all the time you’ve stolen
Years of sweat and tears
Cause I need to fix this mind you’ve broken

You can place all the blame on me but I will
See through all your lies
No feeling hurt and staying sile

nt


(Chorus)

No you’ll never break me down
And you’ll never stop my sound
Cause I’ve finally found my worth
You can’t tell me that I’m less that what I am

Down, down, down
No you’ll never break me
Down, down, down
No you’ll never break me

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down

(Bridge)

And all these years I’ve felt wrong
Now I’ve put it in this song
How you tried to keep me down and silent

I’m gonna work for me not you
You’ll never love the things I do
It’s time to stop being so compliant

(Chorus)

No you’ll never break me down
And you’ll never stop my sound
Cause I’ve finally found my worth
You can’t tell me that I’m less that what I am

Down, down, down
Can’t break me
Down, down, down
Can’t break me

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down

Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Can’t break me down
