I’m zipping up my scars under a borrowed shine
Hiding every no behind a doing just fine
Mama told me, Baby, you’re gonna be alright
But she never saw the demons that I’m fighting tonight
This mascara’s heavy, it’s a mask for the pain
Trying to stand steady while I’m dancing in the rain
I’m armor-plated in a thrift-store dress
A beautiful disaster, a high-fashion mess
Heels clicking truth on a cracked-up floor
I’m breathing in deep, I’m ready for war
I ain’t looking for a hand, I ain’t looking for a light
I brought my own fire to the party tonight
Yeah, I’m dressed to kill, not to be saved
Red lips steady, I ain’t nobody’s slave
If looks could talk, they’d say I will
I’m standing like a giant on a heartbreak hill
Heart on fire, nerves made of steel
I didn’t come to fold, I’m dressed to kill
Cheap perfume and a cracked-glass crown
I learned to keep smiling while they pushed me down
I was the quiet girl, the one they didn’t see
Now I’m the only one in the room I wanna be
Every stare I get is a loaded gun
But I’m the one standing when the smoke is done
I ain’t being reckless, no, I’m just being real
Turning all my trauma into something I can feel
This ain’t revenge, it’s just survival wear
Confidence stitched with a desperate prayer
The world wants me broken, the world wants me still
But I’m walking through the fire with a iron-clad will
Yeah, I’m dressed to kill, not to be saved
Red lips steady, I ain’t nobody’s slave
If looks could talk, they’d say I will
I’m standing like a giant on a heartbreak hill
Heart on fire, nerves made of steel
I didn’t come to fold, I’m dressed to kill
They thought I was finished, they thought I was done
They didn’t know the battle had only begun
No white flags, no cheap thrills
Just a woman on a mission, yeah, dressed to kill
I’m still here
I’m still standing
Yeah, I’m dressed to kill, not to be saved
Red lips steady, I ain’t nobody’s slave
If looks could talk, they’d say I will
I’m standing like a giant on a heartbreak hill
Heart on fire, nerves made of steel
I didn’t come to fold, I’m dressed to kill
Hear the room go still
I came back stronger. Yeah, I always will
