Lyrics
(Verse 1)
They look at me like a role model
As if I always walk straight
But you don't see the nights I falter
The questions I keep to myself
Under their eyes
Every move is an oath
Every misstep becomes a vow
I smile
I sign
I say "thank you"
And I fade a little too
(Pre-Chorus)
I filter every phrase
Every image
I decorate my cage in gold
But behind the glass and the mirages
I just want to break everything
(Chorus)
I just want a little freedom
To breathe outside the picture
To keep the respect
The dignity
But that they also love my truths
I want to dance in my own skin
To fall low
To shine too high
To be whole
To be flawed
And that they accept me anyway
That you love me anyway
(Verse 2)
The light heats like a secret
That sticks to the skin
That never leaves
They call me
They wait for me
They admire me
But they know so little of my wild side
I protect the dark corners of my life
The anger
The little forbidden things
I earned my place
Yes
I took it
But I lost a few pieces of myself
(Pre-Chorus)
Between the compliments
The mirages
I wonder who I really am
I hold my role like a corset too tight
I'm suffocating and scared at the same time
(Chorus)
I just want a little freedom
To breathe outside the picture
To keep the respect
The dignity
But that they also love my truths
I want to dance in my own skin
To fall low
To shine too high
To be whole
To be flawed
And that they accept me anyway
That you love me anyway
(Bridge)
[low vocal register]
And if I fall
Do you stay?
If I show myself
Do you stay?
If I tell you that sometimes
I get lost
I don't know my voice anymore
[spoken
Almost whispered]
I built this throne with the strength of my hands
But I want to be able to get down from it
From time to time
Without being afraid of you
(Chorus)
[Chorus]
They look at me like a role model
As if I always walk straight
But you don't see the nights I falter
The questions I keep to myself
Under their eyes
Every move is an oath
Every misstep becomes a vow
I smile
I sign
I say "thank you"
And I fade a little too
(Pre-Chorus)
I filter every phrase
Every image
I decorate my cage in gold
But behind the glass and the mirages
I just want to break everything
(Chorus)
I just want a little freedom
To breathe outside the picture
To keep the respect
The dignity
But that they also love my truths
I want to dance in my own skin
To fall low
To shine too high
To be whole
To be flawed
And that they accept me anyway
That you love me anyway
(Verse 2)
The light heats like a secret
That sticks to the skin
That never leaves
They call me
They wait for me
They admire me
But they know so little of my wild side
I protect the dark corners of my life
The anger

Yes

But I lost a few pieces of myself
