Lyrics

You told me I was too much
I've been thinking about that
How many years I trimmed myself down
To fit into the space you left
You told me calm yourself
Like my edges were the problem
Like the fact that I felt deeply
Was a fault in my design
Well I've been patient
I've been measured
I've been kind beyond my means
I have swallowed more than you will ever know I did not say
And I am done performing small
So your comfort can remain
This is not destruction
This is not the end of reason
This is me reclaiming
Everything I handed over
Controlled burn
I am not losing my mind
Controlled burn
I know exactly what's mine
This is not wreckage, this is clearing ground
This is not damage, this is the sound
Of someone who learned to be small
Deciding never again
Controlled burn, never again
You'll call it overreacting
You've always had that move
The way you reframe everything I say
Until I'm the one confused
I know that trick too well now
I've been watching how it works
You name the feeling after me
And walk away unhurt
But I know what happened
I know what was said
I know the version you'd prefer I carry in my head
And I am done revising history
To protect you from the cost
I won't apologize for knowing
What I know, what I know, what I know
I want to be very clear
I am not angry because I am unstable
I am angry because I paid attention
And I know what I saw
There is a difference between
A person who has lost their mind
And a person who has found it
