[Verse 1]
You tried to fold me
Tried to fit me in your palm
Turn my thunder
Into something you could calm
You loved me smaller
Easier to pull the strings
Fed me stories
While you hid your little schemes
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought I’d beg just to breathe you in
Thought I’d break just to let you win
You were scared of the day I’d see through
Guess what
That day just came true
[Chorus]
You tried to control me
Keep me locked inside your room
You were scared I’d start running
So you covered up the truth
But joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you (yeah)
You don’t get to use me
I’m the one who’s cutting loose
Joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you
[Verse 2]
You loved the power
You could taste it in your throat
Turned my secrets
Into trophies you could gloat
But I got louder
Till your walls began to shake
All that pressure
Cracked the mask right off your face
[Pre-Chorus]
You can keep all the names you called
You can sit in your empty throne
You were scared of the day I’d walk out
Here I am
And I’m already gone
[Chorus]
You tried to control me
Keep me locked inside your room
You were scared I’d start running
So you covered up the truth
But joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you (hey)
You don’t get to use me
I’m the one who’s cutting loose
Joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you
[Bridge]
Look at me now
Standing in the clear daylight
You’re just a shadow
Shrinking in my taillights
You lost your grip
I found my fight
You lost your script
I rewrote my life (my life)
[Chorus]
You tried to control me
Keep me locked inside your room
You were scared I’d start running
So you covered up the truth
But joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you (oh)
You don’t get to use me
I’m the one who’s cutting loose
Joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you
Yeah, joke’s on you
I broke free, free from you
