Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I used to bend till I was breaking, Say “yes” when I meant “no” Carried weights I wasn’t made for, Just to keep the peace you know Now I hear my own voice talking, Clearer than it’s ever been If it costs me my own freedom, That’s a price I’ll never spend Pre-Chorus You can call me selfish if you want But I finally understand Chorus I’m not here to please, not here to stay small Not gonna lose myself just to have it all If I let you down, I’ll be alright I don’t need your yes to live my life I choose me, even if you leave Yeah, I’m finally free I’m not here to please Verse 2 No more walking on your tightrope, No more guessing what you need I was drowning in your silence, Now I’m breathing when I leave Every “no” feels like a heartbeat, Every step is mine to take If you only love the version That I had to fake Pre-Chorus Then you never really knew me at all Now I’m done playing that part Chorus I’m not here to please, not here to stay small Not gonna lose myself just to have it all If I let you down, I’ll be alright I don’t need your yes to live my life I choose me, even if you leave Yeah, I’m finally free I’m not here to please Bridge I won’t shrink to fit your expectations Won’t apologize for liberation You can keep your validation I don’t need it anymore Final Chorus I’m not here to please, I’m here to be real Learning how to trust the way I feel If I stand alone, I’ll still stand tall I don’t need permission after all I choose me, finally believe That I deserve me I’m not here to please
