I'm Not That Person Anymore

[Verse 1] You look at me and blink in disbelief, Expecting the shadow you trained to obey, Expecting the easy smile I wore like armor Just to keep the weather calm for you. You trace the edges of who I used to be, Mourning a stranger who only ever existed Because I was too afraid to let her die. But I’m not that person. [Chorus] So if you miss the old me, Well, fuck off. I’m not that person anymore, Whether you like it or not. Well, fuck off. I’m not that person anymore, I’m not that person anymore. [Verse 2] I spent my whole damn life Trying to fit in your box, Folding my wings, biting my tongue, Hiding every sharp edge and wild piece of my soul So I wouldn't make a mess of your design. But boxes were made to be crushed, And now I’m gonna be the storm That rattles the walls and breaks all the locks, Washing away every lie I ever swallowed. [Chorus] So if you miss the old me, Well, fuck off. I’m not that person anymore, Whether you like it or not. Well, fuck off. I’m not that person anymore, I’m not that person anymore. [Verse 3] I’m not too much, I’m not too deep, I’m not a secret you can keep Locked away in the dark while you play safe. I’ve fallen down and scraped my knees On the hard, unforgiving floors of your judgment, Bleeding out my patience just to earn a nod. But I’ve lived through the dirt enough to know I don't need your apples to put on a show, Trading my hunger for the scraps of your approval. So if you miss the old me— The one who bent until she broke, The one who dimmed her own light So you wouldn't have to squint— Well, fuck off. I’m finally friends with the person I am today.
