I'm out of this loop

[Start] [Intro] You keep saying there is space to talk But words like that don’t hold their weight at all I learned too early what a promise costs When what is said is not what’s done [Verse] I hear the phrases turn around again As if they mean the same as then But what gets said and what is real Don’t match the way I tend to feel [Verse] I was told to never bend the truth To speak it plain, to follow proof Yet much around me never stood Still called “okay” just understood [Pre-Chorus] I stayed honest, I stayed direct While others choose what to protect So now my voice comes out more sharp Since quiet never changed the chart [Chorus] I'm out of this loop, I won’t change what I see Your words don’t line up easily You talk as if it’s clear and right to do But none of it feels true I'm out of this loop, I stop the pattern I was forced inside Where only one side has to hide I stand where I have always stood Even if you don’t agree with it [Verse] As a child I spoke too clear But that was not what they could hear What I was told to hold inside Was never met on the other side [Verse] Now labels come without delay For how I talk, for how I stay Too loud, too fast, too hard to place While others get a softer space [Pre-Chorus] They call it wrong, they call it strong Depending on who plays along So I respond in simple form To break the cycle I was born in [Chorus] I'm out of this loop, I won’t change what I see Your words don’t line up easily You talk as if it’s clear and right to do But none of it feels true I'm out of this loop, I stop the pattern I was forced inside Where only one side has to hide I stand where I have always stood Even if you don’t agree with it [Bridge] They say I’m much, I say I’m real Just shaped by what I had to feel If honesty becomes a fault Then look at where those rules were taught [Final Chorus] I'm out of this loop, I won’t reshape myself for what you want I see the gaps you never confront You move the line and call it fine But I still read between the line I'm out of this loop, I speak it straight without apology No need to change what’s part of me What I was told to keep inside Is now the part I won’t divide [Outro] I'll be back [End]
