[Verse 1]
Woke up to the same old sermon
Pointing fingers at my spine
Every “should” felt like a shackle
Every favor stole my time
[Chorus]
I’m living my life for me
Blood in my teeth
I’m free
If you don’t like what you see
Turn away
Let me breathe
No more bending ‘til I break
No more cuts for your sake
I’m done begging to be seen
I’m living my life for me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You loved me when I stayed obedient
Called it “family”
Called it “love”
But every hug had hidden barbs in it
Every smile pushed and shoved
[Chorus]
I’m living my life for me
Blood in my teeth
I’m free
If you don’t like what you see
Turn away
Let me breathe
No more bending ‘til I break
No more cuts for your sake
I’m done begging to be seen
I’m living my life for me (hey)
[Bridge]
I won’t be your soft excuse
I won’t dress in borrowed truth
You don’t get to edit me
I tear your script in two (in two)
[Chorus]
I’m living my life for me
Blood in my teeth
I’m free
If you don’t like what you see
Turn away
Let me breathe
No more bending ‘til I break
No more cuts for your sake
I’m done begging to be seen
I’m living my life for me (for me)
