[Verse 1]
You said "slow down"
I hit the gas
You drew a line
I burned the map
Your every rule
An iron chain
I cracked a smile
And walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
I used to bend
Till my back would scream
Now I don't break
For anybody's dream
[Chorus]
I'm living my life for me
Not your script
Not your scene
Tear your pages from my teeth
I won't bite down
I won't believe
I'm living my life for me
Every scar
Every scream
If I fall
I fall free
I'm living my life for me
[Verse 2]
You bless my scars
Then call them flaws
You preach control
I sharpen claws
You want a doll
That never bleeds
I'm flesh and bone
And broken teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your turn
Now it's mine to be
More than the ghost
You wanted from me
[Chorus]
I'm living my life for me
Not your script
Not your scene
Tear your pages from my teeth
I won't bite down
I won't believe
I'm living my life for me
Every scar
Every scream
If I fall
I fall free
I'm living my life for me
[Bridge]
This is the cut
Where I break clean
Rip off the mask
Let the wound breathe
If your love
Needs chains on me
Keep your love
I'll keep my peace (yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm living my life for me
Not your script
Not your scene
Tear your pages from my teeth
I won't bite down
I won't believe
I'm living my life for me
Every scar
Every scream
If I fall
I fall free
I'm living my life for me
