[Fast Guitar Intro – Punchy Drums] You smile like you’ve seen this before Like I’ll calm down in a year or two You say it’s loud, say it’s a phase Like I’ll wake up wanting to be you [Verse 1] You talk like you’re standing ahead of me Like I just missed the turn But I didn’t come this far Just to wait and learn You frame your doubt as guidance Dress it up as concern But I’ve already paid For every lesson you earned [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “you’ll understand” Like I don’t already know [Chorus] This is not your phase Not your moment Not your place to explain me I didn’t get loud to be noticed I got loud because I’m done behaving You can label it how you want Say I’ll change someday But don’t mistake conviction For something I’ll outgrow This is not your phase [Verse 2] You confuse calm with compliance You confuse age with control But I learned early What it costs to stay small You call it being patient I call it standing still I didn’t lose my balance I learned how to stand uphill [Pre-Chorus] You talk like certainty Is something you own [Chorus] This is not your phase Not your moment Not your voice inside my head I didn’t ask for your permission I decided and I said You can wait for me to soften You can bet I’ll fade away But don’t mistake persistence For something I’ll outgrow This is not your phase [Bridge – Drop Then Build] I’m not dramatic I’m deliberate I’m not confused I’m accurate [Final Chorus – Lift] This is not your phase Not your story Not your chapter to rewrite I didn’t come this far To be quieter I came here to be right You can call it what you want Say it’s temporary But I didn’t find my voice Just to hand it back someday This is not your phase [Outro – Abrupt] I’m not passing through I’m staying
