Fit In

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] I grew up thinking something was wrong, that if I was different, I'd be judged. I learned to smile even though it hurt, to hide what I felt behind anyone. I got used to hearing comments, to turning my wounds into daily silences. And even though I said I didn't care anymore, inside, every word weighed heavily on me. [Pre-Chorus] And I wondered again and again what I had to change to be okay. Maybe stop being who I was, maybe pretend nothing hurt. [Chorus] I just wanted to fit in, to disappear inside the crowd. I traded pieces of my name for a little less doubt. But every mask grew heavier, and every yes felt thin. I’m learning I was never wrong— I just wanted to fit in. [Verse 2] I measured every word I said, checked my reflection before I left. I made myself easy to accept, then wondered where I’d put myself. [Pre-Chorus] And I wondered again and again why being loved felt like a test. Maybe the part I tried to hide was the part that needed care the most. [Chorus] I just wanted to fit in, to disappear inside the crowd. I traded pieces of my name for a little less doubt. But every mask grew heavier, and every yes felt thin. I’m learning I was never wrong— I just wanted to fit in. [Bridge] If I have to lose their approval to finally hear my own, then let the silence open up and lead me somewhere whole. I won’t apologize for breathing, I won’t edit every truth. The life I kept postponing is waiting in the room. [Final Chorus] I just wanted to fit in, but I don’t have to fade away. I can carry every difference I was taught to displace. No more masks upon my face, no more shrinking from within. I was never made to vanish— I just wanted to fit in. [Outro] I was never made to vanish. I’m letting myself begin.
