USED TOY #2

“Smaller Than Me”

(Verse 1)
I was loud in a room full of silence
Carried weight that nobody could see
Every answer, every expectation
Stacking taller than I wanna be

They said “you’re strong,” like it’s simple
Like I don’t feel it crack in my chest
Like being the one with direction
Doesn’t mean I don’t need rest

(Pre-Chorus)
So I shrunk a little just to breathe
Let the pressure slip off me

(Chorus)
What if I don’t wanna lead tonight?
What if I just drift, no fight?
No decisions, no heavy crown
Just let somebody else hold it down

I’m not broken, I just feel done
Carrying weight for everyone
If I go small, I finally see—
The world feels lighter than me

(Verse 2)
I played the part, kept it steady
Held the line like I had to prove
But nobody asked if I wanted
To always be the one that moves

So I laughed when I felt like fading
Turned the cracks into something clean
If I step back, lose the control—
Maybe I don’t have to mean

(Pre-Chorus)
Everything I used to hold
Maybe I can just let go

(Chorus)
What if I don’t wanna lead tonight?
What if I just drift, no fight?
No decisions, no heavy crown
Just let somebody else hold it down

I’m not weak, I just changed lanes
Different rules, a different game
If I go small, I finally see—
The world feels lighter than me

(Bridge — the shift)
Not a cry for help, not a fall
Just a choice to feel less tall
Less weight, less voice, less name
Step outside of the constant game

I can still see, still understand
I just don’t reach out my hand
Let them come, or let them pass
I don’t need to be built to last

(Outro — cold tone)
Now I move quiet, nothing to prove
No need to win, no need to lose
I’m not chasing, I’m not above
I don’t need meaning, I don’t need love

Cold air where the pressure was
No more “should,” no more “because”
If I’m small, then I don’t fall—
Nothing can break what isn’t tall
