Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, in October, I got close to giving up
Well, I fell on my hands and knees and screamed "That's enough!"
'Cause I brought life into this world, I sacrificed
I laid my roots down deep, and it's my time to rise
[Verse 2]
So I will face my demons, every single one
And even when the wolves come out, I won't run
'Cause I am done with people-pleasing, playing small
Love me as I am or don't love me at all
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
I don't really care what you say, what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don't care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
[Verse 3]
There were days I didn't even know myself
So ashamed, thought I should be like someone else
And my whole life, they told me I need thicker skin
But thicker skin only kept all my fire and all my passion in
[Chorus]
And I don't really care what you say, what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don't care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Bridge]
And I almost lost my mind
Holding everything inside
'Cause my hands were always tied
But tonight they're in the sky
[Chorus]
Yeah, I don't really care what you say, what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don't care who you want me to be
[Chorus]
And I don't really care what you say, what you think about me
Almost lost my mind trying to make everybody happy
I know who I am
I don't care who you want me to be
This is the night I set me free
[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Outro]
Look at me
This is the night I set me free
Look at me
This is the night I set me free
