[Verse 1] I used to bend myself just to make you stay Shrinking down my sparkle, dimming every flame I tried to fit the version you kept in your mind But losing who I was was the real goodbye You wanted someone quiet, someone easy to read But I’m the kind of wildfire you can’t control or keep And every time you tried to say I wasn’t enough I learned the truth — it was you who couldn’t measure up [Pre-Chorus] You wanted perfect I’m not perfect I’m just real And that’s worth it I stopped waiting Stopped debating Now I finally see— [Chorus] I’m not that kind of person You can break and bend at will I’m stronger than your version Of who you thought I’d be still I’m rising, I’m climbing I’m done apologizing You lost me, now you’re learning I’m not that kind of person [Verse 2] I used to keep my voice quiet out of fear Now every word I speak, I say it loud and clear I fixed my crown the moment you let it fall Turns out I never needed you at all You wanted someone softer, someone scared to leave But I’m a storm in motion, I was never meant for ease You only see my worth now that I’m finally gone But that’s the price you pay for treating me wrong [Pre-Chorus] You wanted perfect I’m not perfect I’m just real And that’s worth it I’m done waiting Done explaining Now I finally see— [Chorus] I’m not that kind of person You can break and bend at will I’m stronger than your version Of who you thought I’d be still I’m rising, I’m climbing I’m done apologizing You lost me, now you’re learning I’m not that kind of person [Bridge] I’m the kind of person Who gets back up again The kind of person Who shines brighter in the end You didn’t see it But now the world does And you’re standing there wishing You had loved who I was [Final Chorus] I’m not that kind of person Who stays small so you feel tall I broke free, now I’m certain I never needed you at all I’m rising, I’m shining My future’s redefining You lost me, now you’re learning I’m not that kind of person
