Soul Archive Room Let Them Talk Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm
Mmm

[Verse 1]
When I had nothing but a broken heart
No one knocked on my door
No one asked how deep the night ran for what I was crying for
I learned to stand in the silence with the cold against my skin
Now I walk like I survived it all
And they can't stand where I've been
They only see the woman I became
Not the fire that made my name

[Chorus]
Let them talk, let them talk
They never walk through my stone
They weren't there when thе whole damn world
Left me out in thе cold and warm
Let them talk, let them talk
I ain't living in shame
I paid in tears, I paid in years
Now I'm dancing in my own flame

[Verse 2]
I spent a lifetime doing right for everybody but me
Held the house and held the hurt
Smile through misery
I gave my youth to keep in peace
Gave my soul to survive
Now every breath I take is mine
And for the first time I'm alive
If the night turns in the morning and the sun catches my skin
That's my truth, not your judgment I was born again within

[Pre-Chorus]
They only hear the rumors now
But they never heard me break it down

[Chorus]
Let them talk, let them talk
They never carried this pain
They never stood where I stood
In the middle of the pouring rain
Let them talk, let them talk
Say whatever they please
I buried my fear with yesterday's tears
Now my soul is free

[Bridge]
I was a girl who kept quiet
Afraid to lose love
Now I'm the woman who chooses
What she's worthy of
If my freedom shakes their world, if my truth cuts too deep
Maybe it's the chains they wear
They were too afraid to leave

[Chorus]
Let them talk, let them talk
Let them call out my name
My walk through fire came out brighter
And I'll never be the same
Let them talk, let them talk
All night long if they must
I rose from the ashes of all their whispers
And turned them into dust

[Outro]
Let them talk, I'm finally living
I'm finally free
Let 'em talk about me
