Stop Caring

(Yeah...)

All the noise, it used to drown me

All their words would twist around me

Tried to fit, I tried to please

Till I forgot what I believe

I’ve been living like a ghost in line

Saying yes when it wasn’t mine

Now I’m done with playing small

I’m done pretending not to fall

Every whisper, every stare

I used to care — but I don’t care

I stop caring about others

Let the echoes fade away

I stop bending for their colors

Now I paint my own today

There’s a fire in my chest

And it burns in honesty

I stop caring about others

Now I finally feel like me

All the doubts, they start to fade

In the light of what I’ve made

I don’t need their old design

To tell me how to live this time

Every rule they built in chains

Can’t hold the wild inside my veins

I stop caring about others

Let the echoes fade away

I stop bending for their colors

Now I paint my own today

There’s a pulse that’s in my blood

And it beats relentlessly

I stop caring about others

Now I finally feel like me

This is my voice, this is my breath

No more noise, no more regrets

If freedom hurts, I’ll take the pain

I won’t trade myself again

I stop caring about others

Let the noise just drift away

I stop hiding under cover

Now I’m brighter anyway

There’s a storm beneath my skin

But it sings in clarity

I stop caring about others

Now I finally —

I finally feel like me

(Yeah...)

I finally feel like me.
