Madonna – Rebel Heart Lyrics

Rebel heart…
Rebel heart…

I’ve lived my life like a masochist¹
Hearing my father say,
‘Told you so, told you so!
Why can’t you be like the other girls?’²
I said, ‘Oh no, that’s not me
And I don’t think that it’ll ever be’³

Thought I belong to a different tribe
Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied
Trying to fit in but it wasn’t me⁴
I said, ‘Oh no, I want more
That’s not what I’m looking for’⁵

So I took the road less traveled by⁶
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived⁷
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth
Of my rebel heart⁸

I’ve spent some time as a narcissist⁹
Hearing the others say,
‘Look at you, look at you!
Trying to be so provocative’¹⁰
I said, ‘Oh yeah, that was me’
All the things I did just to be seen.¹¹

Outgrown my past and I’ve shed my skin
Letting it go and I’ll start again, start again¹²
Never look back, it’s a waste of time
I said, ‘Oh yeah, this is me
And I’m right here where I wanna be’¹³
I said, ‘Hell yeah, this is me
Right where I’m supposed to be’¹⁴

So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in my rebel heart

So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth

Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…¹⁵
