Isabel

I've been tryin' to find time to find myself again I've been playin' with the tendons in my hands I've been tryin' to learn how to be my own person Instead of trying to be interesting Fuck never being quite enough Fuck being a second-favorite It was never up to me anyway This isn't about love But that doesn't make it painless Guess I'll be the one who has to say "You don't have to be good all the time You don't have to have the answer You don't have to be right You don't have to be the strong one You don't have to be liked You're allowed to bleed outside the lines Isabel, you're allowed to change your mind" I've been makin' new friends and listening to them I've been laughin' on strangers' couches I've been thinkin' about how I talk to myself How my words cut like no one else's Fuck never being satisfied Fuck a pity party I'll never be a machine I always wanted to be so unfeeling But where has that ever gotten me? You don't have to be good all the time (all the time) You don't have to have the answer You don't have to be right (you don't have to be right) You don't have to be the strong one (the strong one) You don't have to be liked (you don't have to be liked) You're allowed to bleed outside the lines (bleed outside the lines) Isabel, you're allowed to change your mind (mind) Oh, oh, oh, oh You don't have to be special, you don't have to be anything You don't have to move on if you aren't ready You don't have to set examples, and you don't have to lead You're allowed to want, and you're allowed to leave You don't have to be good all the time You don't have to have the answer You don't have to be right You don't have to be the strong one You don't have to be liked You're allowed to bleed outside the lines Isabel, you're allowed to change your mind
