Don't Tell Me To Stay Lyrics

Another day, another cage to break

You think I'll bow, but that's your mistake

I'm a runaway train, I don't slow down

Fuel my fire, I'll burn this town

You push, I'll shove—won't play your game

You throw the rules, I'll tear the frame

Don't try to tame the wild in me

I'm not your puppet, I'm breaking free

Don't tell me to stay when I'm meant to run

Don't clip my wings when I reach the sun

I'm chaos, I'm thunder, I'm everything loud

I'll stand on the edge, screaming proud

So take your chains, throw them away

I'm not listening, don't tell me to stay

Your words are walls, but I'll tear them down

You wear a crown, but I'm claiming my ground

You call me reckless like it's a sin

But the only way out is to dive right in

You push, I'll shove—won't play your game

You throw the rules, I'll tear the frame

Don't try to tame the wild in me

I'm not your puppet, I'm breaking free

Don't tell me to stay when I'm meant to run

Don't clip my wings when I reach the sun

I'm chaos, I'm thunder, I'm everything loud

I'll stand on the edge, screaming proud

So take your chains, throw them away

I'm not listening, don't tell me to stay

The scars I've earned tell a story untold

Of battles fought, of breaking the mold

I'm not a shadow, I'm the light that blinds

A rebel's heart, defying the lines

I'm not your whisper, I'm the scream in the dark

The spark in the void, the howl of a heart

Every step I take, I'm shaking the ground

You can't silence me; I'm too damn loud

The ties that bind are ashes and dust

A phoenix rises when the world's unjust

I'm the storm you can't predict or cage

A book unburned, turning the page

I'm a revolution waiting to ignite

You can't dim the spark, I'm a fire in the night

I'm the voice that you fear, the truth you deny

Born to defy, born to defy

Don't tell me to stay when I'm meant to run

Don't clip my wings when I reach the sun

I'm chaos, I'm thunder, I'm everything loud

I'll stand on the edge, screaming proud

So take your chains, throw them away

I'm not listening, don't tell me to stay

I'm not your puppet, I'm breaking free

Don't tell me to stay—it's time for me to be me
