Lyrics

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so, so done
Guarding my tongue
Holding me back
I'm living the way that I want
'Cause I'm so, so done
Fighting myself
Going through hell
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
[Verse 1]
I lost control over all of my energy
Done so much damage to my heart
I've given in
I've changed my identity
I didn't mean to go so far
[PreChorus]
Oh my God, I wish
I could be better than this
My God, wish, I could be
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so, so done
Guarding my tongue
Holding me back
I'm living the way that I want
'Cause I'm so, so done
Fighting myself
Going through hell
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
[Verse 2]
Living away
On a high
Connecting away
People keep changing
Faces why I'm so jaded
Face it I think I'm fading
Taken back, no
[PreChorus]
Oh my God, I wish
I could be better than this
My God, wish I could be
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm so, so done
Guarding my tongue
Holding me back
I'm living the way that I want
'Cause I'm so, so done
Fighting myself
Going through hell
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
I'm living the way that I want
