Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You check my phone like it’s your job Count my drinks You watch the clock Asking where I’ve been What I’ve done Like I’m sixteen Caught on the run [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s love But it feels like rules Gold-plated cage dressed up as “for you” [Chorus] You’re not my father You’re supposed to be my man I don’t need another warden with a ring on his hand I want a kiss Not a curfew Do you understand? You’re not my father You’re not my father You’re my man (so act like my man) [Verse 2] You pick my dress You hate my friends Turn my “maybe” into “yes” Every fight You talk down slow Like I’m too small to ever know [Pre-Chorus] You call it care But it sounds like chains I call it out You call me “dramatic” again [Chorus] You’re not my father You’re supposed to be my man I don’t need another lecture while you hold my hand I want a touch Not a timeout Do you understand? You’re not my father You’re not my father You’re my man (then stand like my man) [Bridge] I won’t shrink to fit your plan Won’t be your child in a wedding band If you can’t love me as I am I’ll walk out proud Keys in my hand (hey!) [Chorus] You’re not my father You were meant to be my man I won’t play the perfect daughter for your fragile plans I want a heart beside me Not a raised-up hand You’re not my father You’re not my father You’re my man So act like my partner Or watch me run while I still can

rock, Crunchy alt-rock band energy, female vocals with a raspy edge. Tight, palm-muted guitars in the verses that explode into wide-open power chords in the chorus. Bass drives the groove with a slight punk snarl, drums hit hard on tom fills before each hook. Bridge strips to vocal and bass before a final, shout-along chorus with gang vocals on the title line.
