Lyrics

Rebel Heart

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I lived my life like a masochist

Hearing my father say: Told you so, told you so

Why can't you be like the other girls?

I said: Oh, no, that's not me

And I don't think that it'll ever be

Thought I belong to a different tribe

Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied

I tried to fit in, but it wasn't me

I said: Oh, no, I want more

That's not what I'm looking for!

So I took the road less traveled by

And I barely made it out alive

Through the darkness, somehow, I survived

Tough love, I knew it from the start

Deep down in the depths

Of my rebel heart

I spent some time as a narcissist

Hearing the others say: Look at you, look at you!

Trying to be so provocative

I said: Oh, yeah, that was me

All the things I did just to be seen

I've grown my past and I've shed my skin

Letting it go, I'll start again, start again

Never look back, it's a waste of time

I said: Oh, yeah, this is me!

And I'm right here where I wanna be

I said: Hell, yeah! This is me

Right where I'm supposed to be

So I took the road less traveled by

And I barely made it out alive

Through darkness, somehow, I survived

Tough love, I knew it from the start

Deep down in my rebel heart

So I took the road less traveled by

And I barely made it out alive

Through darkness, somehow, I survived

Tough love, I knew it from the start

Deep down in the depths

Of my rebel heart
