Wait…

I think I like me better lately.

Used to hold my breath in crowded rooms

Tryna fit inside what I outgrew

Every “should” felt heavier than truth

Now I move like I got nothing to lose

I was measuring my steps in borrowed shoes

Talking low so I wouldn’t bruise the mood

Every angle I hid just blurred my view

Now I stand how I always meant to move

They said “stay small,” I played it polite

Now I take up space when I walk in light

Heartbeat loud, got my timing right

If I’m too much, turn down your sight

Out of my head, I’m finally free

Move like the mirror’s proud of me

No more lines I gotta be inside

I pick my name, I pick my side

Bounce when I walk, feel it in my chest

This my pace, yeah this my best

If they don’t get me, that’s alright

I been glowing in my own daylight

Used to second-guess every little sound

Now I let my rhythm shake the ground

Every version that they tried to frame

Fell apart when I said my name

I was tracing outlines they approved

Holding tight to things I couldn’t lose

But the version I played felt untrue

So I stepped where my choices choose

I don’t owe them easy

I don’t owe them small

(I don’t owe them steady)

(I don’t owe them calm)

If I’m breaking patterns

Let the ceiling fall

(If I’m moving different)

(I been right all along)

I’m not asking for permission now

I been standing where I learned my ground

All the weight I carried fell away

When I stopped rehearsing what to say

This is muscle memory, not a phase

Every step been training me for today

If the room can’t hold what I become

I’ll build a door and walk through one

Out of my head, I’m finally free

Move like the mirror’s proud of me

No more lines I gotta be inside

I pick my name, I pick my side

Bounce when I walk, feel it in my chest

This my pace, yeah this my best

If they don’t get me, that’s alright

We been glowing in our own daylight
