[Verse 1] Lipstick smudged, not for your gaze Combat boots on runway days You say “smile,” I say “no thanks” I wasn’t made for your romance [Pre-Chorus] You call it chaos, I call it choice Don’t need to soften up my voice [Chorus] I'm not your pretty thing Not your paper doll, not your silent queen I don't bend just to be believed I’m wild, I’m loud, I’m everything you said I shouldn’t be So take your box and burn it clean I’m not your pretty thing [Verse 2] You wrote the rules in black and blue But I’ve got scars with better views Told me “less is more,” I laughed I’ll take up space, and then some back [Pre-Chorus] You want a girl who stays in lines But I was born to speak my mind [Chorus] I'm not your pretty thing Not your sugar-coated, soft routine I don’t shrink to keep the peace I’m fire, I’m fight, I’m what you hoped I'd never be So take your mold and melt it I’m not your pretty thing [Bridge] I wear my heart like armor now And I don't owe you anyhow Don’t need your praise, don’t need your crown I built my throne while burning down [Final Chorus] I'm not your pretty thing Not your perfect, polished figurine I don't play your make-believe I'm scars, I'm soul, I’m power underneath So watch me rise, unshamed, unseen— I’m not your pretty thing Not your paper doll, not your silent queen I don't bend just to be believed I’m wild, I’m loud, I’m everything you said I shouldn’t be So take your box and and burn it clean I’m not your pretty thing
