You told me where to stand
You told me what to be
You drew the lines around my life
You never own me
Every voice that ever version of the person I should be
Every hand tried to shape me every eye I wanted to see
Walk this way, think this way, don't step outside the frame
I spent too long becoming someone else's name
Then I looked into the mirror and finally understood
I wasn't lost, I was living by their rules
You wanted my direction
You wanted my design
You wanted every answer
But you don't get to choose mine
Not out of control
Not lost, not broken
Just finally whole
You don't decide my limits
You don't decide my road
I'm out of control
I stopped asking for permission
I stopped meeting your approval
You wanted me predictable
When I was bound to new evolve
Out of control
You lost your hold
Now I'm out of control
No permission, no approval
No permission, no control
No permission, no approval
No permission, no control
You had a list of rules
I had a life to live
You wanted me to fit the shape
I had more to give
I caught it, holding back
You wanted me to stay inside
I found another track
No more checking faces, no more reading signs
No more changing who I am to make your world feel wide
You can keep your expectations, I'm keeping my smile
I don't hate the world for telling me who to be
I just finally understand it'll get to decide for me
You don't need their permission
You don't need their approval
You only need to choose yourself
I'm not out of control
Not lost, not broken
Just finally whole
You don't decide my limits
You don't decide my road
I'm out of control
I stopped asking for permission
I stopped meeting your approval
You wanted me predictable
When I was born to new evolve
Out of control
You lost your hold
Now I'm out of control
What happens when nobody
Can tell you who to be
You're finally hear your own voice
And when they don't understand
I don't need them to
I know who I am
No more lines, no more cages
No more waiting
For someone to say
You can, I don't need permission
I'm already moving
I'm out of control
You can't hold me, you can't shake me
You can't tell me who to become
I'm out of control
From our direction over my voice
I found the person I was running from
No more rules, no more chains
No more living in somebody else's frame
I don't need to be understood
I just need to be free
I'm out of control
Not lost, not broken
Just finally whole
You don't decide my limits
You don't decide my road
I'm out of control
I stopped asking for permission
I stopped meeting your approval
You wanted me predictable
When I chose to evolve
Out of control
You lost your hold
Now I'm out of control
No permission, no approval
No permission, no control
Just me out of control
