You tell me that I need to change, need to change, rearrange for ya But since I've recognized myself, I now know, I'm my own person You made me feel a little insecure I never wanna feel that way no more But you just never wanna see who I see in my reflection Now I'm in the light Your shadow is a memory I left behind Now open your eyes You'll realize that I am not your design Your paradigm Your paradigm, paradigm I am not your paradigm, paradigm So let's call it a waste of time, a waste of time I won't be your paradigm Me and you were just a phase just a phase Now I taste freedom Yesterday I followed you followed you Now I'm the one leading I used to be under your control Now I don't have no strings on me no more Now you hold a piece of me I don't need You can just keep it Now I'm in the light Your shadow is a memory I left behind Now open your eyes You'll realize that I am not your design Your paradigm Your paradigm, paradigm I am not your paradigm, paradigm So let's call it a waste of time, a waste of time I won't be your paradigm You should stop your swearing Say goodbye to your comparisons Cause you and I dun ended There's no way we can amend it And I'm not gonna waste my time Cause you are yours and I am mine Just quit your playing blind Go fuck your paradigm Now I'm in the light Your shadow is a memory I left behind Now open your eyes You'll realize that I am not your design Your paradigm Your paradigm, paradigm I am not your paradigm, paradigm So let's call it a waste of time, a waste of time I won't be your paradigm
