You could be right and I’ll be real
Honesty won’t be a pain that you will have to feel.
‘Cause I don’t need your approval
To find my worth.
I’ve been trapped inside of my own mind
Afraid to open my eyes to what I’d find
I don’t want to live like this anymore.
There goes my pain
There goes my chains
Did you see them fall
There goes this feeling
That has no meaning
There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes
Does it scare you that I can be something different than you?
Would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn’t?
You can’t control me
And you can’t take away from me
Who I am.
Have you ever felt that
Your only comfort was your cage?
You’re not alone.
I have felt the same as you.
Have you ever felt that your secrets give you away?
You’re not alone, I have been there too.
When everyone is looking and everyone is laughing
But I think everyone feels the same.
Everybody wants to feel okay.
Everybody wants everybody to feel.
‘Cause you can’t change me
And you can’t break me
There goes the world
Off of my shoulders
There goes the world
Off of my back
There it goes.
