I wanna live, not stay... They said, "That's stupid", Said I'd go nowhere, "You'll need a big push If you wanna get there", "Get a real job, now", "Pick a safe lane" "Find somebody And stay in your place" But I hear my own name In the back of my throat I've been saving this fire For too long to let go I don't wanna fade away I don't want a safer cage I want my voice out loud I want my name out there I don't wanna play it safe I want a life that shakes I want my voice out loud I wanna live, not survive They kept score in their numbers I kept mine in songs Every hard "no" Made me sing twice as strong I paid for the dream With my own two hands Never saw a straight path But I still took the gamble And I'm not made for A borrowed little life I can hear my bumping heart And it's rising, and rising I don't wanna fade away I don't want a safer cage I want my voice out there I want my name out loud I don't wanna play it safe I want a life that shakes I want my voice out loud I wanna live, not to stay Everybody "survived" And they call that enough But I hold a star for a heart And I'm not giving it up I don't wanna just exist I don't wanna obey Breathing isn't living, and I'll set myself off today. I don't wanna fade away I don't want a safer cage I want my voice being loud I wanna hear my name shouted I don't wanna play it safe I want a life that shakes I want my voice out loud I wanna burst, not being restrained I want my name out loud, I wanna live, not stay! I wanna live, not survive, I want to shine!
