Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Something about me didn't fit into your perfect world
I bet the bluegrass stained your smile
You should use a darker color
When you write on the wall
I haven't read it a thousand times
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe if you saw me
For a second you would realize
Honey, I was trying so hard
[Chorus]
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time, I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
[Verse 2]
You liked the face but you had to replace me
Inside, I saw the walls of me go down
You can take the girl away from
Cowboy hats and steel guitars
She'll still sing the same old songs
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe if you saw me
For a second you would realize
Honey, I was trying so hard
[Chorus]
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time, I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
[Bridge]
Turned on that radio
Hey, that's when I realized
It wasn't our song, it was yours
And in conversation
Baby, I was decoration
Now I deserve a little bit more than
[Chorus]
To talk, walk, think, stop
Anytime you want me to
Bend all my rules
I used to let you choose
Who you wanted me to be
This time, I'm flying free
It's my turn to be me
