I wake up late, the room feels small Same four walls, same missed call Everybody wants a piece Everybody talks, nobody sees I bite my tongue, I count to ten Here we go, we start again Got a little spark under my skin Try to hold it back, but it kicks in Don’t tell me to calm down I’ve been calm all week You want me quiet I want something real to keep Cut me loose Cut me loose I got nothing left to prove Cut me loose Cut me loose Let me make my own excuse Yeah, okay, I heard you Same advice, different curfew Keep it clean, keep it cool Everybody making rules I’m not trying to start a fight I just wanna feel alright Take a breath, let it go If you know, then you know My phone lights up, I let it ring I don’t owe you everything Little comments, little digs Everybody dancing on the edge I used to care what people thought Now I care about the cost If I lose a couple friends Maybe that’s where freedom starts Don’t tell me to calm down I’ve been calm too long You want me smaller I think you got me wrong Cut me loose Cut me loose I got nothing left to prove Cut me loose Cut me loose Let me make my own excuse Look, I’m done with the lecture Done with the pressure Everybody’s got a plan for me Nobody checks the temperature Step back, let me breathe Let me be who I wanna be No big speech, no grand scene I just want a little room to dream Now the night feels different I can hear myself think Got a cheap drink in my hand And I’m standing at the brink Maybe I was too tense Maybe I took it too hard Maybe getting free Means dropping every guard Cut me loose Cut me loose I got nothing left to prove Cut me loose Cut me loose Now I’m laughing at the rules Cut me loose Cut me loose Let it shake, let it move Cut me loose Cut me loose Yeah, I finally found my groove Yeah, I’m good No, really, I’m good You can keep the lecture I’ll keep the night I’m good I’m good Let it go
