Lyrics Taking up Space - Ariza , Julia Gartha

I've always been mindful of stepping on toes
But when mine get stepped on, I apologize
I don't know where that little voice comes from
But it's gotta go

I think it's that feeling of being
Stuck in between
Not caring at all and worried about how people perceive me
Is it loud in here or am I just breathing?

I'm tired of
Dulling my shine
Dimming my light
Just to make someone's a little bit brighter
Apologizing
For speaking my mind, and
Making my voice just a little bit quieter

I'm a chameleon every day
I'm sick of changing colors
Shapeshifting always
So, why play the game?
When it's rigged anyways
I'm learning to be okay with taking up space

I've always been mindful of stepping on toes
But when mine get stepped on, I apologize
I don't know where that little voice comes from
But it's gotta go (go)

I think it's that feeling of being
Stuck in between
Not giving a fuck and worried about how people perceive me
Is it loud in here or am I just breathing?

I'm tired of
Dulling my shine
Dimming my light
Just to make someone's a little bit brighter
Apologizing
For speaking my mind, and
Making my voice just a little bit quieter

I'm a chameleon every day
I'm sick of changing colors
Shapeshifting always
So, why play the game?
When it's rigged anyways
I'm learning to be okay with taking up space
