[Verse 1]
I spent too long with my hands tied tight
Measuring every word beneath their eyes
Built my days from a borrowed plan
Now I’m tearing up the map they handed me
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the judgment fall like rust
I’ve got nothing left to prove
[Chorus]
I’m starting to live my life for me
No permission, no apology
Say what you want, I won’t bend or flee
I choose the person I’m gonna be
Fuck everyone else, let them disagree
Their voices don’t belong inside of me
I’m starting to live my life for me
And that is enough for me
[Verse 2]
I know the names of the roads I missed
The doors I closed just to keep the peace
But regret is a poor disguise
For the fire I kept buried all these years
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the old rules turn to dust
There’s a different truth to choose
[Chorus]
I’m starting to live my life for me
No permission, no apology
Say what you want, I won’t bend or flee
I choose the person I’m gonna be
Fuck everyone else, let them disagree
Their voices don’t belong inside of me
I’m starting to live my life for me
And that is enough for me
[Bridge]
I won’t shrink to fit your frame
I won’t wear your borrowed name
If standing tall makes enemies
Then let them line up opposite me
[Breakdown]
My life
My choice
My blood
My voice
[Final Chorus]
I’m starting to live my life for me
No permission, no apology
Say what you want, I won’t bend or flee
I choose the person I’m gonna be
Fuck everyone else, let them disagree
Their voices don’t belong inside of me
I’m starting to live my life for me
And that is enough for me
[Outro]
No more living on my knees
No more asking to be free
