Karaoké Let Them Talk Soul Archive Room & Pamela

Mmh hmm

Mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh

Hoo ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

When I had nothin' but a broken heart no one knocked on my door

No one asked how deep the night ran or what I was cryin' for

I learned to stand in the silence with the cold against my skin

Now I walk like I survived it all and they can't stand where I've been

They only see the woman

I became

Not the fire that made my name

Let them talk, let them talk

They never walked through my storm

They weren't there when the whole damn world left me out in the cold and worn

Let them talk, let them talk

I ain't livin' in shame

I paid in tears, I paid in years

Now I'm dancin' in my own flame

I spent a lifetime doin' right for everybody but me

Held the house and held the hurt

Smiled through misery

I gave my youth to keep in peace

Gave my soul to survive

Now every breath I take is mine

For the first time I'm alive

If the night turns into mornin' and the sun catches my skin

That's my truth not your judgment

I was born again within

They only hear the rumors now but they never heard me breakin' down

Let them talk, let them talk

They never carried this pain

They never stood where I stood in the middle of the pourin' rain

Let them talk, let them talk

Say whatever they please

I buried my fear with yesterday's tears and now my soul is free

I was a girl who kept quiet

Afraid to lose love

Now I'm the woman who chooses what she's worthy of

If my freedom shakes their world

If my truth cuts too deep

Maybe it's the chains they wear they were too afraid to leave

Let them talk, let them talk

Let them call out my name

I walked through fire

Came out brighter and I'll never be the same

Let them talk, let them talk all night long if they must

I rose from the ashes of all their whispers and turned them into dust

Let them talk

I'm finally livin'

I'm finally free

Let 'em talk about me
