Out of Your League

You said I was difficult You meant difficult to control You loved how I looked when I entered the room Hated the fact I had something to prove Wanted the shine, but not what it revealed A woman with standards, a mind, and a will You asked me to soften the edge of my light So you could feel taller whenever we’d fight But I won’t lose inches to fit in your frame If confidence scares you, don’t speak my name I’m not complicated I’m out of your league You wanted the image Not all of me I’m not coldhearted I finally see You didn’t lose a woman You lost what you couldn’t be You called it ambition when speaking of men Called me intimidating again and again But I built this life without asking for space And I won’t apologize for knowing my place No crown needed No throne in the shot I know what I carry You know what you lost You wanted a woman who followed your lead Beautiful, silent, designed for your needs I came with a vision, a voice, and a name You couldn’t rise higher, so called me the blame No hard feelings No reason to grieve You’re not a bad man You’re just out of your league I’m not complicated I’m finally free You wanted me smaller That never was me Out of your league Not out of my mind
