Pretty When I’m Dangerous

Verse 1
You liked me when I stayed polite
When I kept my edges small
When I smiled through the tension
Like I didn’t feel it all
Now I walk in like a warning
Now I take up every space
And the same eyes that ignored me
Can’t stop watching my face

Pre-Chorus
I don’t shrink
I don’t hide

Chorus
I’m pretty when I’m dangerous
Better when I don’t behave
You don’t know what to do with me
Now I don’t need you to stay
Every version you preferred
Was the one I couldn’t be
I’m pretty when I’m dangerous
And finally free

Verse 2
I stopped asking for permission
Stopped explaining what I’m worth
Now the room adjusts around me
Every time I hit the floor
You don’t scare me with rejection
You don’t move me with applause
I don’t live inside your comfort
I don’t follow your laws

Bridge
No approval
No disguise
This is power
This is mine

Final Chorus
I’m pretty when I’m dangerous
Stronger when I’m seen
Every piece you tried to tame
Is the part that leads
I don’t need your safe version
I don’t need your control
I’m pretty when I’m dangerous
And I know
