[Verse 1] You said I’d fold when the room got loud I found my feet in the middle of the crowd Your old excuse in a borrowed coat I left it hanging by the door below [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your green light I know where I’m going One deep breath, chin high Watch the whole room notice [Chorus] I’m taking up my space tonight No second guessing, no asking why You had your turn, now I’m moving on I’m wide awake and the night is young I’m taking up my space tonight Step by step, I’m back in my life You can keep the keys, I’ve changed the lock I’m taking up my space, and I won’t stop [Verse 2] Your picture’s face down in the kitchen drawer The little things don’t own me anymore I made a list, crossed your name in blue And booked the table with the better view [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your green light I know where I’m going One deep breath, chin high Watch the whole room notice [Chorus] I’m taking up my space tonight No second guessing, no asking why You had your turn, now I’m moving on I’m wide awake and the night is young I’m taking up my space tonight Step by step, I’m back in my life You can keep the keys, I’ve changed the lock I’m taking up my space, and I won’t stop [Bridge] Maybe I was quiet, maybe I was kind Maybe I kept shrinking just to keep the peace That was then; this is mine I can leave, I can breathe [Final Chorus] I’m taking up my space tonight No second guessing, no asking why You had your turn, now I’m moving on I’m wide awake and the night is young I’m taking up my space tonight Step by step, I’m back in my life You can keep the keys, I’ve changed the lock I’m taking up my space, and I won’t stop [Outro] I won’t stop I’m taking up my space tonight
