[Verse 1] I used to bite my tongue Till I could taste rust Kept my jokes PG So you could trust I played the background kid Safe and polite Holding my breath So you could sleep at night [Pre-Chorus] You called it “chill” You called it “sweet” You loved that version You wrote for me But I’ve been screaming Inside my teeth I’m done pretending That’s all I’ll be [Chorus] You miss the version of me you loved Quiet Easy Never enough Built for your comfort Made to agree But that cardboard cutout isn’t me I’m not your flawless fantasy I break I burn I disagree If honesty’s what wrecks your trust Then lose the version of me you loved [Verse 2] I used to shrink my dreams Make them fun-size Nodding along While you improvised I let your stories use My face My name Got so small I vanished from the frame [Pre-Chorus] You called it “chill” You called it “kind” Like I was lucky To trade my mind You want the chorus I want the verse If growth’s a glitch Then I’ll be the curse [Chorus] You miss the version of me you loved Quiet Easy Never enough Built for your comfort Made to agree But that cardboard cutout isn’t me I’m not your flawless fantasy I break I burn I disagree If honesty’s what wrecks your trust Then lose the version of me you loved [Bridge] I’m not the host Of your comfort show I’m not the laugh track You used to know You said “You’ve changed” "Heh", Yeah "That’s the point" I finally showed up To my own life [Chorus] You miss the version of me you loved Quiet Easy Never enough Built for your comfort Made to agree But that cardboard cutout isn’t me I’m not your flawless fantasy I break I burn I disagree If honesty’s what wrecks your trust Then lose the version of me you loved
