Up above the surface I was just a 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 ya to believe 

I’m suffocating, I can’t breathe 
Let me out this cage, I’m not gonna hold back 
Gonna break these chains, I’m taking control now 
Gonna giva ya 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 
Imma show you what I’m talking about 
It’s another side of me 
I’m acting out 
 [bad word] to a new beginning, it’s time to start the show 
No I don’t think it matters if it’s real or just a role 
Once you get a taste of it you’ll be begging me for more 
I’ll giva ya something to remember once I hit the floor 
I’m letting go of what you know 

Let me out this cage, I’m not gonna hold back 
Gonna break these chains, I’m taking control now 
Gonna give ya 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 
Imma 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 do what you’re told 

Just to do what you’re told, Just to do what you’re told 
Do what you’re told 
Just to do what you’re told 
Do what… do what you’re told 

Let me out this cage, I’m not gonna hold back 
Gonna break these chains, I’m taking control now 
Gonna give ya 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 
Imma show you what I’m talking about 
It’s another side of me 
I’m acting out 

Life’s too short just to do what you’re told, I’m acting out 
Life’s too short just to do what you’re told, I’m acting out 
Life’s too short just to do what you’re told, I’m acting out 
Yeah yeah, I’m acting out
