Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was raised on a kitchen floor
With a shaking hand and a locked back door
Mama said, Don\'t you ask too much
But I felt that weight with every touch
[Verse 2]
A preacher\'s words in a folding chair
Said the stain was mine, said it was there
I wore that shame like an old coat
Till it fit my skin and I lost hope
[Pre-Chorus]
If it\'s mine, why does it feel
Like somebody else wrote the deal?
If I was born with this fire inside
Who taught it to hide?
[Chorus]
Who owns the sin?
Who put it in me?
Who holds the key
And won\'t let me leave?
Who owns the sin?
Tell me tonight
If it was mine all along
Why does it still feel borrowed?
[Verse 3]
I tried the road, I tried the light
I scrubbed my name with a hundred nights
But every mirror knew my face
And every prayer came back in place
[Verse 4]
Now I\'m older, less afraid to say
Some chains were passed the hard way
From a broken voice to a child so small
You don\'t own a wound if you didn\'t build the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
If it\'s mine, why does it feel
Like somebody else wrote the deal?
If I was born with this fire inside
Who taught it to hide?
[Chorus]
Who owns the sin?
Who put it in me?
Who holds the key
And won\'t let me leave?
Who owns the sin?
Tell me tonight
If it was mine all along
Why does it still feel borrowed?
[Bridge]
Maybe shame is a family name
Passed down quiet with the blame
Maybe I was never cursed at birth
Just raised inside somebody\'s hurt
[Final Chorus]
Who owns the sin?
Who put it in me?
Who holds the key
And won\'t let me leave?
Who owns the sin?
I\'m learning to fight
If it was mine all along
Then I\'ll meet it with light
