Taking up Space Lyrics by Ariza, Julia Gartha

2021

[Verse]
I’ve always been mindful of steppin’ 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 worrying about how people perceive me
Is it loud in here? Or am I just breathin’?
[Chorus]
I’m tired of
Dulling my shine
Dimming my light
Just to make someone’s a little bit brighter
Apologizin’
For speaking my mind
And making my voice just a little bit quieter
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Verse]
I’ve always been mindful of steppin’ 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 worrying about how people perceive me
Is it loud in here? Or am I just breathin’?
[Chorus]
I’m tired of
Dulling my shine
Dimming my light
Just to make someone’s a little bit brighter
Apologizin’
For speaking my mind
And making my voice just a little bit quieter
[Post-Chorus]
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
