Lyrics

[Intro]
You traced a doorway on the floor around my feet
Said stand right here, call this shelter, call it sweet

[Verse 1]
I learned to fold myself to fit your frame
Held my breath until the floor forgot my name
Chalk marks on the door, I rubbed them thin
You called it love when I was quiet, so I kept it in

[Build]

[Chorus]
I won't fold to fit your room again
I won't make myself small just to stay
I outgrew the cage you called a home
My heartbeat shakes the paint off your walls
No key can close a door that's gone
I outgrew the cage you called a home
(never go back)
I outgrew the cage you called a home

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
You wrote the rules: be breakable, be sweet
You loved me best when I bent to meet
Measured me in inches, never miles
Latched every window, dimmed the sky
Called it shelter every time it shrank me

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I won't crawl beneath your painted ceiling
I won't twist my body to your mold
I outgrew the cage you called a home
My voice runs taller than these walls
Your locks fall quiet when I say no
I outgrew the cage you called a home
(never be small)
I outgrew the cage you called a home

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Set the keys down at the threshold
Bless the girl who learned to fold
Fill my lungs with outside light
I outgrew the cage you called a home

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Door off the hinges, I breathe my weather
I outgrew the cage you called a home
