Caught you staring, checking out that guy across the bar
Used to sting, now it's just a flickering neon scar
Remember when jealousy was your middle name?
Now you're aloof, playing Houdini in this love game
Used to think I needed your approval, your toxic touch
But honey, I'm a phoenix, rising from your ashes too much
This twisted fairytale, it's past its final scene
Guess I gotta be the villain, rewrite the magazine
Baby, you're a black hole, sucking all my light away
But I'm a disco ball, baby, gonna find a brighter day
Used to be your prisoner, locked in your gilded cage
Now I'm cutting off the chains, turning a brand new page
Yeah, I'm gonna be a bad girl, let my freak flag fly
'Cause honey, this little bird, she's learning how to fly
Yeah, gonna shimmer, gonna shine, a million watts of me
Let the whole damn dance floor, see the real me finally
Heartbeat like a drum, rhythm taking over
Tonight I'm breaking chains, no more playing by your covers
Unleashing all this love, gonna find a brand new lover
Remember nights spent crying, dissecting every text?
Convinced I wasn't enough, a constant self-inflicted hex
But darling, take a good look, 'cause I'm glowing from within
You dimmed my light, but the party's just about to begin
Used to think I needed your approval, your toxic touch
But honey, I'm a phoenix, rising from your ashes too much
This twisted fairytale, it's past its final scene
Guess I gotta be the villain, rewrite the magazine
Baby, you're a black hole, sucking all my light away
But I'm a disco ball, baby, gonna find a brighter day
Used to be your prisoner, locked in your gilded cage
Now I'm cutting off the chains, turning a brand new page
Yeah, I'm gonna be a bad girl, let my freak flag fly
Cause honey, this little bird, she's learning how to fly
Yeah, gonna shimmer, gonna shine, a million watts of me
Let the whole damn dance floor, see the real me finally
Heartbeat like a drum, rhythm taking over
Tonight I'm breaking chains, no more playing by your covers
Unleashing all this love, gonna find a brand new lover
Maybe I'll be a mess, a little unhinged and wild
But at least I'll be dancing, a free and happy child
No more walking on eggshells, tiptoeing in your doubt
Tonight I'm breaking free, with the music pumping loud
Baby, you're a black hole, sucking all my light away
But I'm a disco ball, baby, gonna find a brighter day
Used to be your prisoner, locked in your gilded cage
Now I'm cutting off the chains, turning a brand new page
Yeah, I'm gonna be a bad girl, let my freak flag fly
Cause honey, this little bird, she's learning how to fly
Fly, fly, fly, yeah, I'm learning how to fly
Disco ball, disco ball, shining in the sky
Gonna be a bad girl, gonna touch the sky
Disco ball, disco ball, gonna watch you cry
