Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I learned to speak in smaller words

Shrank my laugh

Hid every urge

Pulled my colors into gray

Smiled on cue

Then backed away

They passed scripts across the table

"Say it soft

Be cute

Be grateful"

So I folded like a note

Tucked my name inside my throat

[Pre-Chorus]

But in the quiet

I hear her breathing

The girl I buried keeps on beating

Every "should" becomes a shackle on my feet

[Chorus]

I'm coming off the leash tonight

If I lose the world

I'll keep my light

If I stand alone

At least I'm standing as my own

Let the shadows say what they will say

I won't fit inside their frame

If the cost of truth is being cast aside

I'll pay it

I'm finally mine

[Verse 2]

They only loved the tilted mask

Praised the lie

Ignored the cracks

Told me "brave" but meant "behave"

Dressed my doubts up as a phase

I wore comfort like a collar

Traded life for smaller offers

Every mirror staged a trial

Every step was self-denial

[Pre-Chorus]

But every secret swells like thunder

Splits the ceiling

Tears it under

All their rules feel paper-thin against my skin

[Chorus]

I'm coming off the leash tonight

If I lose the world

I'll keep my light

If I stand alone

At least I'm standing as my own

Let the shadows say what they will say

I won't fit inside their frame

If the cost of truth is being cast aside

I'll pay it

I'm finally mine

[Bridge]

If you turn your back

Then let it be

I won't beg for love that edits me (oh)

Every name you throw

I'll wear it proud

Every quiet room

I'll sing too loud

I was never meant to disappear

I am done rehearsing over fear

If the stage goes dark

I'll be my own spark

[Chorus]

I'm coming off the leash tonight

If I lose the world

I'll keep my light

If I stand alone

At least I'm standing as my own

Let the shadows say what they will say

I won't fold myself to stay

If the cost of truth is being cast aside

I'll pay it

(yeah, I'll pay it)

If the price is you

Then I choose me this time

I'm finally

Finally mine
