Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to think I had to follow every rule they made
Smilin’ like it’s fine while I’m burnin’ up in shades of grey
Counting all the times I bit my tongue and played it safe
But now I know better — yeah, baby, I’m wide awake

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I don’t need you at all
Turns out I was magic all along, who knew?
Now I dance with my reflection, and she’s winking too.

⸻

[Chorus]
I laugh a little louder now, I say what’s on my mind
I wear my colors brighter but I left my blues behind
No more filters, no apolla-jeeze
I’m finally wild and I’m finally free
Free to be me — yeah!
Free to be me

⸻

[Verse 2]
I used to think that keeping all his letters meant something sweet
Now they’re ashes in the wind, yeah, baby, light and free
Tossed his old T-shirt out, with his memories on repeat
Took my broken pieces, now they’re dancing on the beat

⸻

[Pre-Chorus] (Keep, it builds nicely after the purge)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I don’t need you at all
Turns out I was magic, always had it, who knew?
Now I dance with my reflection, and she’s winking too

⸻

[Chorus]
I laugh a little louder now, I say what’s on my mind
I wear my colors brighter but I left my blues behind
No more filters, no apolla-jeeze
I’m finally wild and I’m finally free
Free to be me — yeah!
Free to be me

⸻

[Bridge]
I’m dancing in the grocery store, heels on in aisle nine
Singing in my car like the whole world is mine
Spinning in the rain, dripping glitter down the street [musical break]
This heart’s a revolution, and it’s marching to my beat

⸻

[Final Chorus] (Big, stacking vocals, party in the vocal booth)
I laugh a little louder now, I say what’s on my mind
I wear my colors brighter but I left my blues behind
No more filters, no apollajeeze
I’m finally wild and I’m finally free
Free to be me — yeah!
Free to be me!

⸻

[Outro] (optional playful, fade out or vocal riffing)
Free to be me… free to be me…
Ohhh, free to be me!
