Breaking Free

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pounding at these prison walls inside my mind Struggling to break free, but I realize I'm stuck here, shackled by this insecurity That tells me I can't do what you're expecting of me [Pre-Chorus] Every night, I lie awake Feeling like I'm just a mistake [Chorus] Oh, take a look at me I know, I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be All I really need is room to breathe Because this pressure is killing me [Verse 2] All my life, I've fought to win your validation Always met with failure and humiliation Maybe I belong here, shackled in this place Where no one else can see I'm nothing but a disgrace [Pre-Chorus] Every night, I lie in bed Trying to escape from my head [Chorus] Oh, take a look at me I know, I'm not the perfect boy you want me to be All I really need is room to breathe Because this pressure is killing me So, take a look at me I know, I'm not the perfect boy you pushed me to be But I found some clarity My life's too precious to live shackled by insecurity And now I'm breaking free I'm through with you And everybody else telling me who I'm meant to be I'm taking back control, the world ends with me
