Lyrics

VERSE 1

Freedom tastes like gasoline

Cherry lips and dopamine

Barefoot on a midnight road

Laughin’ like nobody knows

Skin on skin with the wild wind

Let it burn where I’ve been

Yeah, I climbed those hills alone

Built a queen from broken bones

PRE-CHORUS

They don’t know the hell I hid

All the silent wars I bid

I didn’t just survive the night

I rewrote my damn life

CHORUS

I’m a little reckless in my halo

Little heaven with a little tornado

Yeah, I earned every scar I show

So if I wanna let go — I let go

Messy hair, kiss me in neon

Dancin’ on the edge I stand on

This ain’t chaos, this is proof

I fought like hell to cut these roots

Now I move like I ain’t got chains

Yeah, my freedom’s got my name

VERSE 2

I’ve known fear like a front porch light

Burnin’ dim in the dead of night

Anxiety like a backseat ride

With no damn way to drive

I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small

Been locked behind my own four walls

Now I’m fallin’ fast and hard

In love with life and every scar

PRE-CHORUS

You call it wild, I call it healed

You see a spark, I see steel

Every laugh’s a victory

Every touch reminds me

CHORUS

I’m a little reckless in my halo

Little heaven with a little tornado

Yeah, I earned every scar I show

So if I wanna let go — I let go

Messy heart, hands up high

Kiss the past and let it die

This ain’t chaos, this is growth

I bled for every ounce of hope

Now I move like I ain’t got chains

Yeah, my freedom’s got my name

BRIDGE

I am the woman they’ll never see

All the nights that buried me

Trauma, fear, and isolation

Built this resurrection

So don’t you mistake my fire for fallin’ apart

Every spark came from a dark

I’m reckless, sexy, loud, alive

That’s what happens when you survive

FINAL CHORUS (BIGGER)

I’m a little reckless in my halo

Shot of truth with a backroad glow

Laughin’ loud in a world that tried

To dim this light inside

Yeah, I’m messy and I’m magic too

Fall in love like I always do

Every wrong turn led me home

To a woman fully grown

No more livin’ in those chains —

I dance in freedom, I call my name

OUTRO

Freedom tastes like mischief, honey

I earned the right to days so sunny

Day I dance with no apology —

I am my own damn victory
