Brought up to be the dream I sketched
But you had other plans so I ripped mine to shreds
I am red but you poured the paint until blue is my color
Like the sky you said, but why can't I be like the furious fire?
I'm human yet I'm asked to obey like a machine
We know what's best! Your best doesn't match my dopamine
Why should tears and screams be our anthem?
When did being true to yourself became egotism?
I want to be me for I wore a different face I came to hate
I apologize if the real me doesn't appeal to your taste
My love for you goes endlessly, but I need to make room for me
Don't let me break my heart because it doesn't follow your beat
