Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La da da da dee
You're not breakin' me
La de da da da, da da da, da, yeah
[Verse 2]
Somebody told me fame is a disease
You start singin' the blues
When you start seein' the green
But I think it's all about what you choose
The way you live your life depends on you
That's when I realized I wanna make a difference
Change other people's lives
Give hope even for a moment
Use my name for good
And change the game, I could
[Verse 3]
Because to make it
You think I gotta act a certain way
Be a little bit insane
Live a little, it's okay
I guess we have different definitions of livin'
But you'll twist my words anyway
Say that I'm naive like I don't have a past
You're the one bein' deceived
I see right behind the mask
Tryna stir me up and get me mad
(I smile because) Happiness is all I have, so
[Verse 4]
La da da da dee
You're not breakin' me
La dee da da da
Ain't got time for ya, singin'
La da da da dee
You won't shatter me
La dee da da da
Got an unbreakable smile
[Verse 5]
You'll see me hangin' with my fam
But that don't mean I'm livin' in a bubble
You'll find me at church
But that don't mean that I can't cause trouble
[Verse 6]
Stir up a little scene
'Cause isn't that what you want?
For me to mess up
So you could dress up some story
Sayin', "Tori, this'll sell more records"
[Verse 7]
But I'd rather make 'em yawn
Than be a pawn on your chess board
So call me boring, call me cookie cutter
Call me what you want and matter fact
Just say it loud and don't stutter
'Cause I know who I am
Yeah, I'm still the same
[Verse 8]
Just a California girl with big dreams
Thankin', maybe they'll let me
Sing songs about real things
And baby, who knows
Maybe I could sell out shows
Without takin' off my clothes
God made me sexy
I don't care if only I know
[Verse 9]
La da da da dee
You're not breakin' me (You're not breakin' me)
La dee da da da
Ain't got time for ya, singin'
La da da da dee
You won't shatter me
La dee da da da
Got an unbreakable smile, so
[Verse 10]
And I'll just keep on singin'
[Verse 11]
La da da da dee
You're not breakin' me (Can't save myself from me)
La dee da da da
Ain't got time for ya (Ain't got time for you)
La da da da dee
You won't shatter me
La dee da da da
Got an unbreakable smile
[Verse 12]
Yeah, ohh ohh
I might be smilin', yes
But don't mistake kindness for weakness
Oh oh
