The Rules Have Changed
(Verse 1)
I’ve played your game, danced on your line,
Always second guessing, always out of time.
You set the rules, told me how to feel,
But I’m tired of pretending, I need something real.
I’ve been walking your tightrope, scared to fall,
But now I’m stepping off, I’m done with it all.
You thought you had me wrapped up in your chains,
But I’m breaking free, I’m done with your games.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m tired of living in your world of control,
I’ve been a passenger, now I’m taking the wheel.
The script is torn, the pages are stained,
And now the story’s mine, I’ll rewrite the reign.
(Chorus)
The rules have changed, I’m playing my game,
I’m taking back my life, I’m not the same.
I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the pain,
The rules have changed, it’s my turn to reign.
I’ll write the chapters, I’ll make the call,
I’m taking control, and I won’t fall.
The rules have changed, I’m breaking the chains,
No more living in your world of pain.
(Verse 2)
You thought I’d stay in the shadow you cast,
But now I’m standing tall, breaking through the glass.
You can’t hold me down, you can’t hold me back,
I’m taking my power, I’m taking it back.
You don’t get to decide where I go or who I’m with,
I’m charting my course, I’m writing my myth.
The table’s turned, the dice are rolled,
I’m claiming my freedom, I’m taking control.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m tired of living in your world of control,
I’ve been a passenger, now I’m taking the wheel.
The script is torn, the pages are stained,
And now the story’s mine, I’ll rewrite the reign.
(Chorus)
The rules have changed, I’m playing my game,
I’m taking back my life, I’m not the same.
I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the pain,
The rules have changed, it’s my turn to reign.
I’ll write the chapters, I’ll make the call,
I’m taking control, and I won’t fall.
The rules have changed, I’m breaking the chains,
No more living in your world of pain.
(Bridge)
I won’t be a puppet, I won’t be your toy,
I’ll rise from the ashes, reclaiming my joy.
The chains are broken, the door’s open wide,
I’m stepping out, no more running and hiding inside.
(Chorus)
The rules have changed, I’m playing my game,
I’m taking back my life, I’m not the same.
I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the pain,
The rules have changed, it’s my turn to reign.
I’ll write the chapters, I’ll make the call,
I’m taking control, and I won’t fall.
The rules have changed, I’m breaking the chains,
No more living in your world of pain.
(Outro)
The rules have changed, and now I’m free,
I’m rewriting my life, just wait and see.
No more looking back, no more holding on,
I’m stepping into the light, my future’s begun.
