[Verse 1]
Grey suit at the door
Smile for the room
Learn the easy lines
Move when they say move
Tie on, head down
Play the polite part
I can do the shape
But I can’t fake the heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Count my steps
Hold my tongue
Fit the mold
Stay young
Everybody says
“Just blend in”
But I feel it
Under my skin
[Chorus]
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Fit your frame, fit your frame
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Break me down, I’m not the same (not the same)
[Verse 2]
Clock in, clock out
Say the right thing
Keep the same face on
Like it means everything
But my hands shake
When the crowd leans in
I was born loud
Not to live boxed in
[Pre-Chorus]
Count my steps
Hold my tongue
Fit the mold
Stay young
Everybody says
“Just blend in”
But I feel it
Under my skin
[Chorus]
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Fit your frame, fit your frame
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Break me down, I’m not the same (not the same)
[Bridge]
Back up
Back off
I can’t breathe in your mask
Hands up
Walls up
I’m burning through the past
[Heavy Rock Breakdown]
Crash the glass
Let it split
I was made for this
Raise my voice
Take the hit
I won’t live like this (like this)
[Chorus]
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Fit your frame, fit your frame
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Break me down, I’m not the same (not the same)
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
I’m alive, I’m not for sale
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
I choose me, and I choose well
