Jar on the Shelf

We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass

I used to keep it in my bedroom
Singing to the mirror at night
Mama said, "Now keep it down, girl"
So I kept it out of sight
Every time I tried to raise my hand
Somebody else would get the call
I learned to fold myself like paper
Till I barely took a wall

They told us to be quiet
They told us to be small
We kept it in a jar up on a shelf
Now we're taking it down, taking it all

We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass
Every little voice that said we'd never last
Now the whole world's watching us come through
We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass

Break it, break it
Hey! Break the glass
Break it, break it

Now we're standing in the spotlight
Got my sisters on each side
Every scar is just a story
Every fear we used to hide
Don't you tell us what we can't be
We've been hearing that for years
We turned every no into a reason
We turned every no into cheers

They told us to be quiet
They told us to be small
We kept it in a jar up on a shelf
Now we're taking it down, taking it all

We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass
Every little voice that said we'd never last
Now the whole world's watching us come through
We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass

One voice was a whisper
Two voices were a song
Three voices were a riot
We were strong all along
One voice was a whisper
Now we're strong

We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass
Every little voice that said we'd never last
Now the whole world's watching us come through
We don't hide it anymore, we break the glass

Break it, break it
Hey! Break the glass
Break it, break it
