[Intro]
Mm
Yeah (laughing)
Relax
[Verse 1]
Why you always talk loud when I walk in the room?
Same laugh, same fit, same “look at me” perfume
You bend your whole spine just to get a reaction
I don’t gotta move, still I’m causing distraction
You say “I’m not like her,” then copy my tone
Post thirst with a caption like you didn’t know
You need eyes on you just to feel okay
I need silence, space, and my bills paid
You flirt like it’s charity, smile for the feed
Act sweet, play dumb, beg boys to believe
I don’t compete, I don’t audition
I exist and it fucks with your mission
[Pre-Chorus]
You want applause, I want peace
That’s the difference, let me be
[Chorus]
You want attention, I want freedom
You want a stage, I want meaning
You keep screaming “pick me, pick me”
I’m busy being hard to reach
You twist yourself just to be seen
I don’t perform, I don’t compete
You want approval, I want quiet
And yeah—it’s annoying how you try it
[Verse 2]
You call it confidence, I call it loud insecurity
Every post a cry for validation, no purity
You study my moves like it’s part of the test
Then act surprised when you still feel pressed
You laugh too hard, touch too much
Say “I hate drama” but you live for the rush
You say “I’m real,” but you shift your shape
Depending on whoever’s watching your face
I don’t hate women, let me say it clear
I hate the ones who disappear
Just to be digestible, cute, and chosen
I’d rather be whole than held for a moment
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t dim my light to fit
If it bothers you, that’s it
[Chorus]
You want attention, I want freedom
You want a stage, I want meaning
You keep screaming “pick me, pick me”
I’m busy being hard to reach
You twist yourself just to be seen
I don’t perform, I don’t compete
You want approval, I want quiet
And yeah—it’s annoying how you try it
[Bridge]
I don’t need to be desired to exist
I don’t need a gaze to know I’m legit
I don’t soften my edges to make you relax
I don’t play small just to get text back
Say my name, bite your tongue
You hate me ‘cause I’m not undone
I’m not bitter, I’m just awake
There’s a difference you can’t fake
(beat switch — darker, slower)
[Final Chorus]
You want attention, I want peace
You want a crown, I want sleep
You want a mirror, I want space
Stop projecting all that need on me
I don’t hate you, I just won’t play
I won’t shrink, I won’t explain
You want approval, I want quiet
And yeah—it’s annoying how you try it
[Outro]
Mm
Not your mirror
Not your stage
