[Verse 1]

I've been trying to find time to find myself again

I've been playing with the tendons in my hands

I've been trying to learn how to be my own person

Instead of trying to be interesting

[Pre-Chorus]

Fuck never being quite enough, fuck being 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I've been making new friends and listening to them

I've been laughing on strangers' couches

I've been thinking about how I talk to myself

How my words cut like no one else's

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]

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 (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

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
