🎵Not Happening 🎵

(Verse 1)

Let me understand your logic, please explain

This twisted puzzle spinning in my brain

You want me to change, to mold and rearrange

Into a version that you can contain

(Chorus)

You want me to stop acting like myself, it’s true?

To dim my light and be someone new, just for you?

So in order for your happiness to bloom

I have to wallow in perpetual gloom?

Not happening, no, that’s not my fate

I won’t negotiate, unlock my gate

(Verse 2)

You say my laughter’s loud, my spirit’s wild

My colors vibrant, an untamed child

You wish I’d quiet, become reconciled

To fitting snugly, neatly compiled

(Chorus)

You want me to stop acting like myself, it’s true?

To dim my light and be someone new, just for you?

So in order for your happiness to bloom

I have to wallow in perpetual gloom?

Not happening, no, that’s not my fate

I won’t negotiate, unlock my gate

(Bridge)

I’m built with sunshine, fueled by inner fire

A vibrant soul with an untamed desire

To live authentically, to reach up higher

And not conform to your controlling pyre

(Chorus)

You want me to stop acting like myself, it’s true?

To dim my light and be someone new, just for you?

So in order for your happiness to bloom

I have to wallow in perpetual gloom?

Not happening, no, that’s not my fate

I won’t negotiate, unlock my gate

(Outro)

My happiness I’ll find within myself

Not by sacrificing who I am, upon your shelf

Not happening, no, I’m setting sail

I’ll be myself, and I will prevail.

No, not happening.
