Ah I'm screwing it up
I know I am but it's fine
Okay
Do
You remember when I was a little girl
You were convinced I'd take on the world
And now
I believe it too
Please
Don't be fooled
This ain't what you so seemed to think
Although I always felt you had an inkling
Just sit down and breathe
Mama, I know
That the stars you used to think were aligned
Knocked off course
Please don't take this as a sign
Of
I'm not who I used to be
I'm still me
Daddy, I'm sure
You're thinking this couldn't be the only way to go
Look, I promise you that there is no
Other way
For me to live a life so truthfully
Oh no
I promised myself I wouldn't cry
Can't get it together
I could die
But I've got something to say
Oh
Time's startin to fly
And I can't take wasting one minute more
In the world are all the great things in store
To feel it I
Must set me free
All my life
I tried to hide in fear of losing you
So in my mind
Come to find
I lost me
Where's my pride
Have no guide
And nobody knows but me
Tell me what I'm to do
When right here lies the truth
Brazen in me
Mama, I know
That the stars you used to think were aligned
Knocked off course
Please don't take this as a sign
Of
I'm not who I used to be
I'm still me
Daddy, I'm sure
You're thinking this couldn't be the only way to go
Look, I promise you that there is no
Other way
For me to live a life so truthfully
I gotta be true to me
I gotta be true to me
