I was living in a war zone, felt so battered and confused Didn't wish to be that way, feeling so mentally bruised I just needed to be strong, hiding wounds I never showed Many stories I have lived, I won't live anymore It took courage, so much courage for me to have the open mind That allowed me to recapture all the innocent ones' minds Once wrapped inside a bubble, that to me was my whole world I recall her saying now, I'm not that chained up little girl Feeling so free, just for me to be me I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me Please I let my conscience win, it got me out the life I live I'm so proud to be myself, never to be someone else There was chaos in my head, thinking of words I should have said I was sleeping with an enemy, waking on a burning bed I find it easier to breathe, though I know it's been a while Won't let the season change my image, the image of my smile Won't let no one resue me as they did so long ago I look so many shades of grey, a color that now glows Feeling so free, just for me to be me I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me If you want to stay from me Feeling so free, just for me to be me I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me Feeling so free, just for me to be me I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me If you want to stay from me
