Who Said I’d Have To

Описание: A song about the quiet pressure to be finished, figured out, and defined — and the courage to resist it.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You said
“Grow up
Get it together”
Same cup
Cold coffee
Same weather
I swore
I’d learn every broken part
Then I saw
You never even knew your heart

[Chorus]
Who said I’d have to figure me out?
Like there’s a test I’m failing now
Like there’s a map inside my doubt
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?
Who said I’d have to know what this is?
Every scar
Every shattered wish
I’m still here
Breathing through the mess
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?

[Verse 2]
You said
“By now you should be fine”
Nice thread
Pulled tight across my mind
I tried
Wore every label like a name
Then I learned
I don’t owe you any shape

[Chorus]
Who said I’d have to figure me out?
Like there’s a score I’m dragging down
Like I’m a problem to work around
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?
Who said I’d have to make this neat?
Every fear folded
Tucked in deep
I’m still wild
Shaking in my skin
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m allowed
To be half-formed
Half-loud (oh)
Maybe I can stay
A question every day
If I never fit
In the frame they picked
I’m still alright
I’m still alright

[Chorus]
Who said I’d have to figure me out?
Turn every silence inside out
Pin every feeling to the ground
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?
Who said I’d have to choose one me?
Fix my face so it looks easy
I’m still changing
That’s enough
Who said
Who said
Who said I’d have to?
