I wore the smile they picked for me

Hit every note and line so clean

Bit my tongue 'til it turned blue

Played pretend like they told me to

They want a solo, sweet and small

But I was born to burn it all

Now I'm tearing up your script

Watch me flip the switch, click, click

Plug me in, I'm a live explosive

Broke the box and recomposed it

I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin

Now, get out of the way

I play it loud, I play it raw

I play it real, I play it flawed

Turned my cеllo into a flame

This is my sound, and I play it my way

I bend the strings, I makе them scream

This time I play for bigger things

No bowing down, no sweet ballet

This is my sound, and I play it my way

Woah

They taught me quiet, taught me grace

A fire was hiding in their place

Held it in, then lit the fuse

Now I'm the truth you can't unchoose

Plug me in, I'm a live explosive

Broke the box and recomposed it

I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin

Now, get out of the way

I play it loud, I play it raw

I play it real, I play it flawed

Turned my cello into a flame

This is my sound, and I play it my way

I bend the strings, I make them scream

This time I play for bigger things

No bowing down, no sweet ballet

This is my sound, and I play it my way

I found my light, I found my voice

No one else could make this noise

I'm tiptoe steps of thunder rolls

The girl they knew just stole the show

I play it loud, I play it raw

I play it real, I play it flawed

Turned my cello into a flame

This is my sound, and I play it my way

I bend the strings, I make them scream

This time I play for bigger things

No bowing down, no sweet ballet

This is my sound, and I play it my way

Woah

This is my sound, and I play it my way
