Lyrics
I really used to say y-e-s to everything
The speaker used to agree to everything.
Because I used to care what other people think
Past concern about others' opinions influenced the speaker's choices.
I used to think the less I use my voice
Previous belief that speaking less would make others like the speaker more.
The more they like me, the more they like me
Repetition emphasizes the mistaken idea that silence increases likability.
But now I realized the more I try to play it cool
Realization that trying to be cool leads to suppressing emotions.
The more I swallow and it made me feel like I'm a fool
Suppressing emotions makes the speaker feel foolish.
No, I don't wanna dance at your party dance at your party
Refusal to conform and dance at someone else's party.
It's been too long but now I'm gone
The speaker has moved on and doesn't want to engage in certain activities.
I don't need your validation any more
Rejecting the need for external validation.
I grew and now I'm stronger than I was before
Personal growth has made the speaker stronger.
And if I'm falling one more time I'll be okay
Expressing resilience in the face of challenges.
I don't need to run for you no, cause I'm walking my own way
Independence in choosing one's path rather than running for approval.
I'm tired of explaining every little thing I do
Frustration with constantly explaining actions to others.
Cause even if I'd tell'em still they wouldn't have a clue
Doubt that others would understand even if the speaker explained.
I feel the need to break out, break out from here
Feeling the urge to break free from constraints.
And even if we don't share the same point of view
Acknowledging differences in perspectives without imposing them.
Doesn't mean you need to force it on my own kind of truth
Rejecting the imposition of others' truths on the speaker.
No, I don't wanna dance at your party dance at your party
Reiteration of the refusal to conform and dance at someone else's party.
It's been too long thank God I'm gone
Grateful for the freedom gained by distancing from certain influences.
I don't need your validation any more
Reaffirmation of not needing external validation.
I grew and now I'm stronger than I was before
Emphasizing personal growth and increased strength.
And if I'm falling one more time I'll be okay
Remaining resilient in the face of challenges.
I don't need to run for you no, cause I'm walking my own way
Choosing one's path without seeking approval.
Sometimes it hurts to say goodbye but I gotta go
Acknowledging the difficulty of saying goodbye but recognizing its necessity for personal growth.
If I don't leave I'll never breathe I'll never grow
The speaker needs to leave to breathe and grow.
I don't need your validation any more
Reiteration of independence and rejection of external validation.
I grew and now I'm stronger than I was before
Highlighting continued personal growth and increased strength.
And if I'm falling one more time I'll be okay
Expressing resilience in the face of challenges.
I don't need to run for you no, cause I'm walking my own way
Choosing one's path without seeking approval.
Bye
A final farewell.
