[INTRO] You keep saying “concern” Like it washes your hands But I hear the little scissors In your compliments [VERSE 1] You wanted mirrors Till the glass looked back Now every soft outline Makes you overreact Too slight in the shoulders Too bright in the skin Too pretty for the box You were sorting me in You turn a face into a case file Turn a body into blame Then call it righteous When you mispronounce my name [PRE-CHORUS] I’m not your red flag I’m not your receipt I’m not a shape you get to edit Till it helps you sleep [CHORUS] I exist wrong, I exist loud Too real for the script you keep reading out You shrink the frame and call it care But I was breathing before you stared You don’t defend what you refuse to know You just make people vanish slow I exist wrong, I exist loud Not built for the comfort of the crowd [VERSE 2] He wears beauty So you laugh through your teeth She looks delicate So you sharpen belief They stand sideways To your perfect design Now you swear the whole world Is crossing a line You praise difference When it’s polished and planned But hate the living version When it stands in your hand [PRE-CHORUS] I’m not your headline I’m not your excuse I’m not a body made suspicious By the angle you choose [CHORUS] I exist wrong, I exist loud Too real for the script you keep reading out You shrink the frame and call it care But I was breathing before you stared You don’t defend what you refuse to know You just make people vanish slow I exist wrong, I exist loud Not built for the comfort of the crowd [BRIDGE] You don’t want names You want labels that behave You don’t want truth You want faces you can grade You say “be visible” Then punish the view You say “be human” Then decide what that means too [BREAKDOWN] Count my height Weigh my face Mark my softness Call it shame Check my bones Judge my tone Tell me where I’m allowed to belong [FINAL CHORUS] I exist wrong, I exist loud Too real for the script you keep reading out You shrink the frame and call it care But I was breathing before you stared You don’t defend what you refuse to know You just make people vanish slow I exist wrong, I exist loud Not built for the comfort of the crowd [OUTRO] Keep your ruler Keep your script I was never made To fit in it
