okay… wait. one second. I spent so long trying to be easy, trying to be liked. yeah… no. this feels better. pause. Ready GO I tried to be good for a while It was boring Smiled too much Said sorry too fast Stayed quiet Sat in the back Yeah That girl? Not me anymore Something changed late at night No big moment Just a switch I felt it click I’m soft, but I don’t bend Soft, but I don’t bend Velvet rebel, that’s me Take it or leave it (velvet rebel) I stopped explaining Stopped shrinking Stopped asking if I’m allowed I take space now Big space And I like it Watch me stay Something changed late at night No big moment Just a switch I felt it click I’m soft, but I don’t bend Soft, but I don’t bend Velvet rebel, that’s me Take it or leave it (velvet rebel) Maybe I’m messy Maybe I’m loud Maybe tomorrow I’ll change again Who knows? Still me Still proud Velvet rebel Soft outside Wild inside No permission Velvet rebel Soft outside Wild inside I’m not asking No permission. No explanations. Just me. Velvet rebel. Still soft. Still wild. Still not asking.
