[Intro - dry guitar riff, tight drums, whispered vocal] You liked me better in your frame Pretty smile, easy name But something changed inside my head I cut the wire, now it’s dead [Verse 1 - playful restrained vocal, punchy bass] You picked the jacket, picked the shoes Told me what I couldn’t lose Said, “Baby, trust me, I know best” While your hands were on my neck Not too loud, not too wild Keep it sweet, keep it mild Funny how you loved my fire Till it burned against desire [Pre-Chorus - drums build, rising tension] I used to bend until I broke Swallowed every little joke Now I’m standing in the smoke And I finally get it [Chorus - explosive teen rock, huge guitars] Cut me loose I don’t look good in your chains Keep your rules, keep your games I don’t wanna wear your name Cut me loose Watch me run into the night If you wanna hold me tight Better learn to hold on light I’m not yours to choose So cut me loose [Post-Chorus - dance-punk beat, gang-style backing vocals] Hey! No more pulling on my strings Hey! Look what freedom does to me [Verse 2 - sharper vocal, electronic percussion underneath] You keep calling after two Like there’s something left to prove “Where you going? Who you with?” None of that is yours to fix Lipstick stain, black leather seat Cheap perfume and city heat Every red light turns to green When there’s nobody steering me [Pre-Chorus - distorted synths enter] You can tell your friends I changed Maybe you’re completely right I was dying in your cage Now I’m dangerous tonight [Chorus - bigger guitars and synth layers] Cut me loose I don’t look good in your chains Keep your rules, keep your games I don’t wanna wear your name Cut me loose Watch me run into the night If you wanna hold me tight Better learn to hold on light I’m not yours to choose So cut me loose [Breakdown - half-time drums, close intimate vocal] You called it love I called it pressure You called me yours I should’ve known better One little thread One little pull One little cut And I’m beautiful [Instrumental Break - distorted guitar riff, glitchy vocal chops] Loose Loose Loose [Bridge - stripped back, vulnerable then rising] Maybe I’ll crash Maybe I’ll fall Maybe nobody catches me at all I’d rather bleed from choosing wrong Than disappear where I belong So if you see me running Don’t wait for me [Final Chorus - full band explosion, octave vocal doubles] Cut me loose I don’t look good in your chains Keep your rules, keep your games I don’t wanna wear your name Cut me loose Let me burn across the night I don’t need your green light I can make my own tonight Nothing left to prove Nothing left to lose I’m not yours to choose Cut me loose [Outro - guitars breaking down, breathy vocal] No strings No cage No permission I’m already gone.
