Verse 1
They said I'm moving backwards
But I'm just taking ground
Every "no" is just a staircase
I haven't found the sound
You left me in the basement
Thinking that was down
But I'm digging through the floorboards
Looking for the crown
Chorus
I'm climbing, climbing
Feeling the weight but I'm not collapsing
I'm climbing, climbing
Gotta break the glass before I own it
Climbing, climbing
Every scar's a step, every fail's a message
I'm climbing, climbing
Up from where you left me
Verse 2
They never saw it coming
When I turned it inside out
All those empty promises
Now they're what I'm about
You wanted someone settled
I wanted someone sick with fight
You got comfortable, I got restless
You faded, I ignite
Chorus
I'm climbing, climbing
Feeling the weight but I'm not collapsing
I'm climbing, climbing
Gotta break the glass before I own it
Climbing, climbing
Every scar's a step, every fail's a message
I'm climbing, climbing
Up from where you left me
Bridge
I don't need permission
I don't need your proof
I just need this hunger
And the truth
That everyone who doubted
Will look up one day
And see me in the skyline
Shining anyway
Outro
I'm climbing
I'm climbing
I'm climbing up
