[Verse 1] All my life I remember the words they’d say: “Better watch out, don’t step outta place.” Grew up wearin’ masks just to please their face, But I’m done playin’ nice in a losing race. [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause it shouldn’t feel this way — Like I owe the world each day. [Chorus] I don’t care what you think anymore I’m not here to please you for sure Played your game, now here’s the news: I’m done — I’m living by my rules [Verse 2] You don’t know me, don’t pretend you do, I’m not a mirror just reflecting you. Tried to shrink to fit your frame, But I’m breaking out, I won’t be tamed. [Pre-Chorus] No more filters, no more shame — I’m not here to play your game. [Chorus] I don’t care what you think anymore I’m not here to please you for sure Played your game, now here’s the news: I’m done — I’m living by my rules. [Bridge] Sometimes I scream at my thoughts, “Shut the hell up — you’ve done enough!” I don’t need their damn applause To find my peace, to know my cause. If I’m not enough for your fake parade, Then I’ll dance alone in the mess I made. Don’t need your chains, I found the key — I’m finally learning to just be me. [Breakdown - optional scream-y/quiet vocal] This is my life — not a dress rehearsal. Your rules? Nah — I’m on reversal. [Final Chorus] I don’t care what you think anymore, I’m not here to please you for sure Played your game, now here’s the news: I’m done — I’m living by my rules. So shut the noise and let me breathe — You don’t own me, i am free. It’s my life — I’ve claimed the fight, And I’ll live it how I believe.
