Yeah… I thought I was late Turns out I arrived..... I’m done rehearsing for a life I don’t want Done punching clocks for permission to breathe If this is the crime, then lock me up For choosing myself unapologetically I tried fitting in, it almost killed me Tried staying quiet, it ate me alive Now I move like I mean it Heart in the open No more waiting in line They said slow down Behave Comply I said watch me live Watch me try I’m still here Still loud Still free No time left to wait on destiny I’m still here In my skin In my truth If this scares you That’s not my cue I don’t need masters I don’t need crowns I don’t need saving I figured it out Every scar was a doorway Every fall taught me ground I don’t follow leaders I follow the sound No more ghosts No more fear No more shrinking To be loved in here I don’t owe silence I don’t owe shame I don’t owe my life To somebody else’s game I’m still here Still dancing No disguise I chose this life With open eyes I’m still here No time No cage I didn’t survive To fade away Still here Still here Still here
