Dark clouds in my head, same room, same mirror Buttoned-up grin, but the fit got weirder I was playing nice while my real name knocked Kept it in my throat till my whole chest stopped Borrowed shoes on the floor by the bed Borrowed voice in my mouth, borrowed words in my head Every “be yourself” sounded like a joke When the mask weighed more than the coat I wore But I heard my pulse go, go Under all that static, low And I said, “No more, no more” I’m not built to stay half-closed I break through the dark clouds in my mind Step out, let the real me shine No more hiding, no more "fine" I’m here, I’m loud, I’m on my time Yeah, I break through the dark clouds in my mind This body, this name, this life I was lost, now I’m alive I’m mine, I’m mine They said, “Just chill, just blend in, just smile” Like that could fix what was killing me inside But I’m not a prank, not a phase, not a trend I’m the girl in the mirror learning how to stand Lip gloss on, fresh cut, sleeves rolled high Heart on my sleeve and the fire in my eyes If you read me wrong, that’s your problem, babe I’m not shrinking just to make it easier to say Hear the bass go, boom, boom Like a door kicked open too And I said, “Watch me, watch me” I’m not the ghost you kept me as I break through the dark clouds in my mind Step out, let the real me shine No more hiding, no more "fine" I’m here, I’m loud, I’m on my time Yeah, I break through the dark clouds in my mind This body, this name, this life I was lost, now I’m alive I’m mine, I’m mine If I tremble, I still move If I fall, I still get up too Took the hurt, turned it into proof That the truth in me can’t be removed Say my name right Look me in the face I survived the nights I’m not your mistake I break through the dark clouds in my mind Step out, let the real me shine No more hiding, no more "fine" I’m here, I’m loud, I’m on my time Yeah, I break through the dark clouds in my mind This body, this name, this life I was lost, now I’m alive I’m mine, I’m mine Dark clouds lingered, then slipped away I kept my truth and made my way
