# They Said I Could Be Anything When I Grew Up, But I Was Already A Girl (I'm Living Proof)
|
|
*I still can't see past next week\
|
|
It feels like an eternity and I\
|
|
Can't keep waiting up\
|
|
Life's for living 'til we're dead\
|
|
But I'm not finished writing yet and I\
|
|
Hope you're keeping up\
|
|
I can't keep saying "it'll be next year"*
|
|
|
|
(I wanna be "me" today)\
|
|
*Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I won't let those words take hold of me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me (fuck, if I'm not a girl, then what gives you the right to tell me)\
|
|
Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I'm done being afraid to reach my peak\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me*
|
|
|
|
*I still can't see past next week\
|
|
I'd even fear it in my sleep and I\
|
|
Can't keep waking up\
|
|
Dreams are meant to be lived out\
|
|
No, I won't let you shape my doubts and I\
|
|
Won't stop looking up\
|
|
I can't keep saying "it'll be next year"*
|
|
|
|
(I wanna be "me" today)\
|
|
*Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I won't let those words take hold of me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me (fuck, if I'm not a girl, then what gives you the right to tell me)\
|
|
Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I'm done being afraid to reach my peak\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me*
|
|
|
|
*There's always so damn much to fear\
|
|
There's always something creeping near\
|
|
And I can't wait inside my room forever clutching my own sides*
|
|
|
|
*There's always someone making fun\
|
|
There's always some fuck with a gun\
|
|
But I can't let that stop me living for the first time in my life*
|
|
|
|
(I wanna be "me" today)\
|
|
*Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I won't let those words take hold of me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me (fuck, if I'm not a girl, then what gives you the right to tell me)\
|
|
Fuck your opinion - I'm not listening\
|
|
Cause I'm done being afraid to reach my peak\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me\
|
|
I'm not afraid to be me*
|
|
|
|
(I'm not afraid to be me) *Fuck your gender roles, fuck biology*\
|
|
(I'm not afraid to be me) *I know that I'm a girl, don't need to "wait and see"*\
|
|
(I'm not afraid to be me) *'Cause I'm not done yet, I'm just at the start*\
|
|
(I'm not afraid to be me) *I'll keep on writing 'til I empty out my heart*
|
|
|

[**Yeah, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm a fucking girl - deal with it.**] |
