Lyric

You liked me better in your frame

Pretty smile, easy name

But something changed inside my head

I cut the wire, now it’s dead

You picked the jacket, picked the shoes

Told me what I couldn’t lose

Said, “Baby, trust me, I know best”

While your hands were on my neck

Not too loud, not too wild

Keep it sweet, keep it mild

Funny how you loved my fire

Till it burned against desire

I used to bend until I broke

Swallowed every little joke

Now I’m standing in the smoke

And I finally get it

Cut me loose

I don’t look good in your chains

Keep your rules, keep your games

I don’t wanna wear your name

Cut me loose

Watch me run into the night

If you wanna hold me tight

Better learn to hold on light

I’m not yours to choose

So cut me loose

Hey!

No more pulling on my strings

Hey!

Look what freedom does to me

You keep calling after two

Like there’s something left to prove

“Where you going? Who you with?”

None of that is yours to fix

Lipstick stain, black leather seat

Cheap perfume and city heat

Every red light turns to green

When there’s nobody steering me

You can tell your friends I changed

Maybe you’re completely right

I was dying in your cage

Now I’m dangerous tonight

Cut me loose

I don’t look good in your chains

Keep your rules, keep your games

I don’t wanna wear your name

Cut me loose

Watch me run into the night

If you wanna hold me tight

Better learn to hold on light

I’m not yours to choose

So cut me loose

You called it love

I called it pressure

You called me yours

I should’ve known better

One little thread

One little pull

One little cut

And I’m beautiful

Loose

Loose

Loose

Maybe I’ll crash

Maybe I’ll fall

Maybe nobody catches me at all

I’d rather bleed from choosing wrong

Than disappear where I belong

So if you see me running

Don’t wait for me

Cut me loose

I don’t look good in your chains

Keep your rules, keep your games

I don’t wanna wear your name

Cut me loose

Let me burn across the night

I don’t need your green light

I can make my own tonight

Nothing left to prove

Nothing left to lose

I’m not yours to choose

Cut me loose

No strings

No cage

No permission

I’m already gone
