[Intro] Shh… Yeah They said “stay soft, stay sweet” But I’m done holding my breath [Verse 1] “You live for me” — you said it slow Like my tomorrow was yours to own But time is fire, not a chain I won’t trade my life for your name [Pre-Chorus] Who decided you were fate? Shh… don’t tell me who to be Who drew the line I had to wait? My heart’s too loud, I’m finally free [Chorus] BLACK cheek — shh Not your pink dream I don’t exist for your storyline One life, flashing quick and mean I won’t waste mine trying to be kind BLACK cheek — uh Feel the heat Sharp smile, steady eyes I’m alive, I choose my beat I’m alive — and that’s my right [Verse 2] I loved you, yeah, I won’t pretend But love’s not silence till the end I’m not your “someday”, “maybe”, “wife” I’m the owner of my time [Pre-Chorus] You call it destiny Mm… I call it mythology If fate is real, it follows me Not the version you want me to be [Chorus] BLACK cheek — shh Not your pink dream I don’t exist for your storyline One life, flashing quick and mean I won’t waste mine trying to be kind BLACK cheek — hah Look at me No apologies tonight I choose myself, I choose my heat I’m alive — and that’s my right [Bridge] Shh… listen close No crown, no cage, no silent role I’m not your half, I’m a whole If loving me scares your world Then let it burn, let it burn [Final Chorus] BLACK cheek — shh Say my name I say it loud, I say it clear I wasn’t born to play your game I was born to stay right here BLACK cheek — mm Last goodbye No tears, no rewind One life — and it’s mine One life — and it’s mine [Outro] Shh… BLACK cheek Still warm Still real
