Lyrics
[verse]
I've been standing still inside these same four walls
Playing out a part that never fit at all
Everybody wants me to stay quiet, stay in line
But there's a fire in my chest I can't leave behind
[verse]
I've been wearing masks to keep the peace at home
Smiling on the outside, breaking on my own
Tired of the script that someone wrote for me
It's time to write my own story, wild and free
[chorus]
I want to break free, I want to break free
From the cage they built around the truth of me
I want to break free, gonna find my own way
Nothing's gonna hold this heart, not today
[verse]
Let them stare and whisper, let them shake their heads
I've been living someone else's life instead
Now I'm walking out the door into the light
Trading every shadow for a chance to fight
[chorus]
I want to break free, I want to break free
From the cage they built around the truth of me
I want to break free, gonna find my own way
Nothing's gonna hold this heart, not today
[bridge]
No more bowing down to fear
No more hiding what is clear
This is my life, my only chance
I won't wait, I'm gonna dance
[chorus]
I want to break free, I want to break free
From the cage they built around the truth of me
I want to break free, gonna find my own way
Nothing's gonna hold this heart, not today
