[Intro]
Yeah…
I used to explain every little thing
Tryna make everybody see my heart…
But I learned something—
If you’re committed to misunderstanding me,
Nothing I say is gonna change that.
So now… I’m unbothered.
[Verse 1]
I used to lose sleep over words that I said
Replaying conversations over and over in my head
Trying to prove my heart was always in the right place
While you were already looking for a reason to walk away
I gave explanations, I gave you the truth
I gave you every piece of evidence I could give to you
But somewhere along the way I finally realized
Peace feels better than defending my life
[Pre-Chorus]
So I stopped chasing people who don't wanna stay
Stopped fighting battles that don't belong to me anyway
You can tell your story, you can paint me how you choose
I know who I am… and I got nothing left to prove
[Chorus]
I'm unbothered, baby, I'm good
I stopped explaining myself like I knew I should
If you don't understand me, that's okay
I ain't losing sleep trying to make you change
I'm unbothered, finally free
Your opinion doesn't have control over me
Say what you wanna say, let 'em talk all night
I'm protecting my peace and I'm living my life
[Verse 2]
I don't need everybody sitting in my corner
Some people only love you when you're doing what they want, yeah
The moment you start choosing yourself
They call you selfish just because you found your worth
But I ain't bitter, I ain't holding no grudge
I just learned that everybody ain't entitled to my love
You can misunderstand me, you can get me wrong
I'm still gonna wake up and keep moving on
[Pre-Chorus]
I stopped chasing approval I was never gonna get
Stopped explaining things you already chose to forget
And if walking away makes me the bad guy in your eyes
I'll wear that title peacefully and sleep just fine tonight
[Chorus]
I'm unbothered, baby, I'm good
I stopped explaining myself like I knew I should
If you don't understand me, that's okay
I ain't losing sleep trying to make you change
I'm unbothered, finally free
Your opinion doesn't have control over me
Say what you wanna say, let 'em talk all night
I'm protecting my peace and I'm living my life
[Bridge]
I don't have to prove I'm a good man
I don't have to make you understand
My heart knows the truth, that's enough for me
I found my peace, and I won't let it leave
(Ohhh, I won't let it leave)
No more defending…
No more pretending…
No more explaining who I am…
[Final Chorus]
I'm unbothered, baby, I'm good
Standing in my truth like I always knew I could
If you don't understand me, that's okay
I'm not changing who I am just to make you stay
I'm unbothered, finally free
Ain't nobody got that kind of power over me
Talk if you want, I won't lose my mind
I'm choosing my peace every single time
[Outro / Ad-Libs]
I'm good… (I'm good)
I'm free… (so free)
You don't have to understand me…
I understand me.
No more explaining…
No more defending…
I'm protecting my peace…
And that's the end of it.
I'm unbothe
