I'm gonna tell you a story about how I really feel

Not how everyone thinks I do but how things are for real

I'm not anyone's puppet, I've got feelings of my own

I'm gonna show you what I've never shown

I don't wanna be treated like a shell without a soul

I'm just fed up with hearing lectures from them all

I wanna be able to face the world on my own

I just wanna be proud of the things I've done

Don't try to break me cuz you can't

I'll rise from the dust and start again

Don't tell me how to live my life

Just leave me be

You can't control my every move

Stop judging everything I do

What did I ever do to you?

Just leave me be

I'm sick of others' dreams, all their hopes and expectations

And all the pressure that I have to face day after day

Greed and lust burning in their eyes, their hearts full of hate and despise

If I fail to deliver I'll have to pay the price

Nothing's ever good enough, they always expect more

But, I'm their little robot they appreciate and adore

I can't stand it any more, I can't look at them

They may know my name, but they don't know who I am

Don't try to break me cuz you can't

I'll rise from the dust and start again

Don't tell me how to live my life

Just leave me be

You can't control my every move

Stop judging everything I do

What did I ever do to you?

Just leave me be
