It's not what you are It's not who you are It’s all about the one they want you to be It’s all about the one you’re supposed to be
I'm sick of all your judgments How I wish I could start from scratch You can't run back the tape You cannot start from scratch
I just wanna take a little time out I just wanna kill this fake myself I just have to die to be another me
All you can do Never enough Hard to get through Better be tough
I'm sick of all your judgments How I wish I could start from scratch You can't run back the tape You cannot start from scratch I'm sick of all your comments How I wish I could start from scratch You cannot start your life from scratch
Let me be And break the chains that strangle me. Let me breathe, let me struggle! I have enough of acting all the roles of this play When will the curtain finally fall?
I can't remember when all went wrong But on this very day: I colored the angels gray, On the book that taught how to pray I colored the angels gray On the paintings that showed the way They told me to build this wall, A fortress against the world But I couldn't lift the stones, Much too heavy for a little girl
So I colored the angels gray, On the book that taught how to pray I colored the angels gray On the paintings that showed the way Now they besiege the soul That was left defenseless Years ago by a child Who could not know the consequences.
