Here I sit
laughing at the wrong thing
waiting for someone to notice me
You found me just in time to lose me
from myself and all I held on to
I need you to believe
Wait, I had a lot of things to say about love and life
what gives you the right to just walk away
Wait, I haven't said enough
and I won't be this way
There are so many
forces pulling on me
telling me what I should find important
live
live and let me be
You said a lot of things to make me run away
from the light I thought I saw in yesterday
so don't turn your head and tie my hands
behind my back
because I won't be this way
don't tell me what I need
don't tell me what I want
No . . .
You said a lot of things to keep me in my place
so just shu up for once and let me plead
my case
and don't turn your head and tie my hands
behind my back
because I won't be this way
