"Free To Be Me"

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 alongl, 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 apologies 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 apologies 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 apologies 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!
