I have this feeling within
It's making me spin
I'm outta control
But we're on a roll
I may be young but I can dream
of a true love and its gleam
Well I might have found it, you never know
because my parents won't let me go.
They are scared but so am I.
I don't know if this guy is a lie.
But I know I've got these feelings that consume me like flames
and I'm the only one who knows my aims
You don't know me anymore.
You barely knew me before.
but I know me and I know what I feel
and though the truth I shouldn't conceal
it's the only way I can live for me
even if it's hard for you to see
You always saw you had to fall to get up again
so why won't you let me live? You drive me insane!
My heart is mine not yours to keep
My well of emotion is far too deep
for you to understand or care
but that's life, so unfair.
I know more than you think I do
I'm smart enough to make my decisions without you
You don't have to agree
but I will be me.
