Sometimes when I'm sitting on my bed
Feeling so so lonely
Wishing someone hold me
All I have is three little notes playing in my head

Outside I can cover all the scars
Inside lie the words just pleading to be heard
'Cause all I have are three million melodies to kill all the hurt
Now I'm ready gonna sing 'em all out
Sing 'em out just for myself
I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound

'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning, Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause, I'm winning Imma sing for me

I stand and believe in who I am
Take shots at my heart but who am I to give up
Everybody needs a melody to set their souls free
My stage is the greatest in the world
Give back to the ones who struggle with me stay true
Reminding me to see my only chosen destiny
And now I'm ready now I'm gonna sing it all out
Sing it out just for myself
I don't even care what the world thinks about how I sound
'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause I'm winning Imma sing for me

Sing for me (Sing for me)
Sing for myself
Sing what I believe
Make my whole heart come out
Right where I am let the rain come down
Sing for me (Sing for me)
Sing for myself, sing what I believe
Let my whole heart come out
Right here right now make my own, my very own sound

'Cause when I open my mouth
My whole heart comes out
Every tear I wanna cry is satisfied
I'm singing till I'm winning Imma sing all night
'Cause when I open my mouth
There's no place to hide
Everything that I've been feeling runs wild and free
I'm singing 'cause I'm winning Imma sing for me
