Up above the surface, I was just the perfect child
But underneath it all I was craving to be wild
Don't you judge by the cover, it's so far from what you see
I'm losing all my patience waiting on you to believe

I'm suffocating
I can't breathe

Let me out of this cage
I'm not gonna hold back
I'mma break these chains
I'm taking control now
Gonna give you something to talk about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Set me free
I'm ready to show you
This is what I need
It's time to get dirty
I'mma show you what I'm talking about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show
No, I don't think it matters if its real or just a role
Once you get a taste of it, you'll be beggin' me for more
I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor

I'm letting go
Of what you know

Let me out of this cage
I'm not gonna hold back
I'mma break these chains
I'm taking control now
Gonna give you something to talk about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Set me free
I'm ready to show you
This is what I need
It's time to get dirty
I'mma show you what I'm talking about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

I've been waiting just to drive you crazy
Now it's my time and, yes, it feels amazing
There's nothing left of what you've seen before
Life's too short just to what you're told

Just to do what you're told
Just to do what you're told
Just to do what you're told
Do what, do what you're told

Let me out of this cage
I'm not gonna hold back
I'mma break these chains
I'm taking control now
Gonna give you something to talk about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Set me free
I'm ready to show you
This is what I need
It's time to get dirty
I'mma show you what I'm talking about
It's another side of me
I'm acting out

Life's too short just to what you're told
I'm acting out
Life's too short just to what you're told
I'm acting out
Life's too short just to what you're told
I'm acting out

Yeah, yeah, I'm acting out
