I don't wanna say goodbye

There are some who believe that I owe them something

But they're wrong, I owe nothing to no one but myself

And there are some who say they created me

But only my parents will have that acclaim

I took it from there, I am to blame

Chorus:

Say goodbye to anonymity

I have to [have to, have to] say goodbye

To privacy, but most of all

To innocence (repeat 3 times)

My life is not a game that I play to entertain you

And if you can do it better, then you're welcome to my fame

I'm not gonna waste my time correcting myths and rumors

You believe what you wanna believe

(chorus)

I don't wanna say goodbye

I don't need a reason to cry

Kinda makes me wanna

Kinda makes me hafta

Stop and think about it (repeat 3 times)

Do I want to?

I don't [getting up and down]

I don't [getting up and down]

I don't [getting down and up]

Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up

I don't [getting up and down]

I don't [getting up and down]

I don't [getting up and down]

Up-up, d-d-down, up-up-up

Listen up

It always comes down to this (repeat)

Some people have a snake at the base of their spine

That would suck out your life, that would take all your time

They're called feeders

They're not believers but you must not fear it

They're takers

You know you better stop, stop and think about it (repeat 3 times)

Your innocence (repeat 3 times)

I don't wanna say goodbye to innocence

I don't need a reason to cry, innocence

Hold on to your innocence

Hold on [hold on, hold on], hold on to innocence

Hold on

Stop and think about it, say goodbye, think about it (repeat twice)
