If you ever wondered why I kept the truth behind my eyes I was scared of what you'd say So I pushed it all away Tried to fit inside your mold Played the part you wanted most But I can't pretend no more I'm walking out that door Uh, I won't disappear just to make you proud It was never 'bout the tears or the love we drowned Uh, I won't let nobody chain me down Now I'm standing on my own ground This is the part where I say I don't want it I'm done trying to fake it for you This is the part where I say I'm a free boy Yeah, I'm breaking through This is the part where I say I don't need it I'm stronger than I ever knew This is the part where I say I'm a free boy And I won't give up on the truth You had my soul in your hands Like a secret you could command Every kiss felt so divine But it blurred the warning signs I was drowning in your flame Calling pain another name Thought I needed you to breathe But I only needed me Uh, I won't lose myself for your control It was never love if it stole my soul Uh, I won't let nobody break me down Now I'm louder than the doubt This is the part where I say I don't want it I'm done trying to fake it for you This is the part where I say I'm a free boy Yeah, I'm breaking through This is the part where I say I don't need it I'm stronger than I ever knew This is the part where I say I'm a free boy And I won't give up on the truth My body was caught in the fire Thought the heat was taking me higher It felt holy, it felt wrong Like I'd been asleep too long In my dreams it felt so real But the morning made me heal Now I see it crystal clear There's no more fear This is the part where I say I don't want it I'm done trying to fake it for you This is the part where I say I'm a free boy Yeah, I'm breaking through This is the part where I say I don't need it I'm stronger than I ever knew This is the part where I say I'm a free boy And I won't give up on the truth This is the part where I say I don't want it I'm done trying to live your rules This is the part where I say I'm a free boy I've got nothing left to lose This is the part where I say I don't need it I'm finally bulletproof This is the part where I say I'm a free boy And I won't give up No, I won't give up 'Cause I'm a free boy
