I wore the right clothes and said the things they wanted said
Tried to fit inside a picture somebody else had made
But somewhere between the tears and all those wasted years
I finally found the person I was always meant to be
So I'm done explaining every choice I make
Done apologizing for the space I take
I got one life and I'm finally taking it back
And if that makes you uncomfortable that's your problem, not mine
If you don't like me, fuck off
I'll be myself whether you like it or not
I spent half my life tryna fit inside your world
Now I'm gonna live like the person I was born to be
I'm not too loud, I'm not too much, I'm not too old to fall in love
I've cried enough and lost enough to know I don't need your love
To tell me who I am or make me feel like I belong
If you don't like me, fuck off
I finally like the person I've got
I got a few more lines around my eyes and I'm proud of them
They came from laughing, loving, surviving everything
Every silver in my hair is another story that I wear
I buried dreams and buried people, still I'm standing here
Life knocked me down, but every time I got back up
I learned that getting older never means you've had enough
So don't tell me I should act my age, or know my place
I got a thousand things I still wanna do and chase
I don't need permission to change my mind
I don't need approval just to enjoy my life
I spent too long asking everybody, "Is this okay?"
Now I wake up every morning and I choose my own way
If you don't like me, fuck off
I'll be myself whether you like it or not
I spent half my life tryna fit inside your world
Now I'm gonna live like the person I was born to be
I'm not too loud, I'm not too much, I'm not too old to fall in love
I've cried enough and lost enough to know I don't need your love
To tell me who I am or make me feel like I belong
If you don't like me, fuck off
I finally like the person I've got
And to the person I used to be, I'm sorry you waited so long
You were never broken, you were never wrong
You were just surviving 'til you learned to be strong
So put on that dress and go dance until sunrise
Kiss who you want and say exactly what you mean
Take the damn trip, chase the dream you've been afraid to chase
Let 'em talk, let 'em stare, let 'em think they know
I was never here to be the person they wanted me to be
If you don't like me, fuck off
I'll be myself whether you like it or not
I spent half my life tryna fit inside your world
Now I'm gonna live like the person I was born to be
I've been through hell and I'm still here, and I finally know my worth
I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna dance, I'm gonna love before I'm gone
I'm gonna take another chance and live this life with everything I've got
So if you don't like me, fuck off
I finally like the person I've got
