## Lyrics
[verse]
Used to let the world decide for me
Followed every voice but my own decree
Now I'm standing taller than before
Walking through my own front door

[verse]
Nobody's gonna tell me who to be
I found the version meant for me
Made my choices, made my mistakes
Learned exactly what it takes

[chorus]
This is control, this is my life now
This is control, I found out how
To stand up strong and own my name
Nothing's ever gonna be the same

[verse]
I used to wait for someone else's word
Now my own voice is all I've heard
I write the rules I live inside
No more running, no more hide

[chorus]
This is control, this is my life now
This is control, I found out how
To stand up strong and own my name
Nothing's ever gonna be the same

[bridge]
Twenty years it took to understand
This whole life is in my hands
No apology for who I've grown
This is my life, my life alone

[chorus]
This is control, this is my life now
This is control, I found out how
To stand up strong and own my name
Nothing's ever gonna be the same
