Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I kept my answers folded small

In the back pocket of my jeans

Said what would make the room go quiet

Smiled like I knew what that meant

[Pre-Chorus]

Then I caught my face in the laundromat glass

And got tired of asking permission to laugh

[Chorus]

I’m done pretending I fit your frame

Done sanding down every edge of my name

If I’m too loud, let the whole room know

I’m finally myself, and I’m not letting go

[Verse 2]

I wore that jacket you all picked out

Though it never felt like mine

Now I’m out past the last bus running

With my own plans for tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

No more rehearsing the words I should say

No more packing the real me away

[Chorus]

I’m done pretending I fit your frame

Done sanding down every edge of my name

If I’m too loud, let the whole room know

I’m finally myself, and I’m not letting go

[Bridge]

Maybe I’ll stumble, maybe I’ll change

But I won’t trade my voice for a place

You can keep the version you wanted to see

I’ve got my hands back, and they belong to me

[Final Chorus]

I’m done pretending I fit your frame

Done sanding down every edge of my name

If I’m too loud, let the whole room know

I’m finally myself, and I’m not letting go

[Outro]

Not letting go

I’m finally myself
