Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Mm, mm

I’m finally breathing now

Verse 1

Phone lights up, but I let it ring

Got my name in rooms you’ve never seen

Mirror talks, yeah it tells the truth

I’m becoming someone I outgrew you

Late nights turn to early wins

Champagne stress under my skin

I don’t post what I’m breaking through

Some victories don’t look good on you [Pre-Chorus]

I used to bend just to feel chosen

Fold myself into your focus

Now my heart’s not up for rent

I learned what freedom meant

Chorus

I’m off the hook, and I like it here

No one pulling on my fears

I don’t miss what almost was

I choose myself, I choose my blood

I’m off the hook — does it hit your pride?

Seeing me fine on the other side

You held me once, but I cut the line

I’m off the hook, and I’m doing fine

Verse 2

How many masks can a girl wear

Before the mirror doesn’t stare back?

I played the part, I paid the cost

Found myself in what I lost

They say love’s supposed to hurt

But pain don’t always mean it’s work

I want a life that lets me grow

Not a cage dressed up as gold [Pre-Chorus]

I still believe in butterflies

Just not the ones that steal my spine

If it clips my wings, I’m gone

I won’t beg to belong [Chorus]

I’m off the hook, and I like it here

No one steering my career

I don’t ache for your touch

I finally feel like enough

I’m off the hook — does it mess you up?

That I don’t need your love?

You had a chance, you crossed the line

I’m off the hook, and I’m doing fine

Bridge

I love roses, I love skin

I love nights where we dive right in

But I love waking up alone

Knowing everything I own

If I cry, it’s not regret

It’s old ghosts I finally let

When one door shuts, the silence sings

Says “Girl, you’re made for bigger things”

Final Chorus

Yeah, I’m off the hook (off the hook)

No apologies, no excuses

Yeah, I’m off the hook (off the hook)

I don’t shrink to be your future

I’m off the hook, and I love this view

All the space I never knew

You had me once, now look at me

I’m off the hook — nobody owns me

Outro

Mm

Nobody owns me now

Yeah
