[Verse 1] You smiled in my face while you talked behind my back, Told me I was lucky just to be on your track. I gave you everything, you gave me your blame, Then wondered why I stopped playing your game. You changed my schedule, you changed my lines, Took all my moments and called them not mine. Every little promise disappeared overnight, But I kept showing up, kept putting up a fight. [Pre-Chorus] I know what you said when you thought I couldn't hear, I know every reason you wanted me to disappear. You thought I'd break down, you thought I'd obey, But look at me now— You made me this way. [Chorus] You made me this way, Now I'm stronger than before. You closed every window, So I built another door. You wanted me forgotten, Now they're screaming out my name. You thought you killed my fire, But you only fed the flame. [Post-Chorus] Don't call me when I'm shining, Don't say you always knew. You weren't there in the darkness When I was fighting through. You loved me when I followed, You hated when I grew, Now everything I become Is something without you. [Verse 2] My own team turned cold, Started treating me like a threat. Every win became a problem, Every smile became regret. You wanted me competing Just to keep me underneath, But I stopped chasing your approval And started chasing me. Now I walk into the room And I don't lower my eyes. I don't need your permission, I don't need your disguise. You can rewrite every story, You can twist every lie, But you can't rewrite the truth No matter how hard you try. [Chorus] You made me this way, Now I'm stronger than before. You closed every window, So I built another door. You wanted me forgotten, Now they're screaming out my name. You thought you killed my fire, But you only fed the flame. [Bridge] I don't want your apology, I don't need you to regret. The best revenge is becoming Everything you didn't expect. You wanted me beneath you, Now I'm standing on my own. You thought you took my future— I went and built my own. So keep the old pictures, Keep pretending we were fine. I'll keep every lesson And leave your world behind. You were supposed to destroy me, But you gave me what I needed— A reason to stop waiting And finally start believing. [Chorus] You made me this way, And I won't apologize. You tried to dim my light, Now watch the whole sky rise. You wanted me defeated, But I'm standing here today. You didn't end my story— You made me this way.
