Always dream of being someone I’m not
I get stuck in there, in all of my thoughts
I just want to be my true self, not asking a lot
But to achieve this, it must be fought
The truth I seek inside cannot be taught

Need to break free, like Mariah Carey
And Rose Dewitt Bukater, you see
Like a butterfly spreading its wings
Been trapped too long, so unhappy
Now you can’t and you won’t stop me
The truth was within, couldn’t learn it
These women both gave me courage

It can be so hard, leaving who you are
But who you can be is not very far
You may be slightly out of touch
However, you are never out of reach
Soon there will be no stopping me

Need to break free, like Mariah Carey
And Rose Dewitt Bukater, you see
Like a butterfly spreading its wings
Been trapped too long, so unhappy
Now you can’t and you won’t stop me
The truth was within, couldn’t learn it
These women both gave me courage

I just had to see I can do the same
I just had to know I can be the change

Need to break free, like Mariah Carey
And Rose Dewitt Bukater, you see
Like a butterfly spreading its wings
Been trapped too long, so unhappy
Now you can’t and you won’t stop me
The truth was within, couldn’t learn it
These women both gave me courage

I should let it go like Elsa said
And move on to what is next
But I always somehow think,
As I hate having any enemies,
There’s something left to mend
I further sink like the Titanic did

Tortured, I never feel at peace
Unless Mariah’s singing to me
Learned the best things aren’t free
As there’s always a price to pay
Like when they are taken away
And I’ve had many of them days

Been hurt too many times
To the point it’s been crimes
Always easy to use like a fool
It’s being too nice but it’s not wise
Always being put down for who I am
Still gonna wear my crown to show them

I’ve been cracked open like an egg
Learning the most of any other day
But it’s not always bad, I have had
Some things that make me glad
Guess we all go through things like I do
Just certain times it’s hard to get through

Feeling sick all the time, called a liar
I went from a butterfly to “frequent flyer”
Every day is a struggle to feel just okay
In health it never, ever goes my way
I’ve given up twice but that is alright
Here for a reason, gonna keep believing

I’ve loved so much, just not myself
I’m still a rainbow, with an awful storm
This is my truth, I don’t care what you do
Over-loved so much, just not myself
I’m still a rainbow, with a big, big storm
This is my truth, hope someone it moves

I have waited so very long
For a moment to visualize
After I have always realized
It’s all about you, the way you do  

If I say I love you, if I eagerly reach for you
What would you say, what would you do?
Could I get to you, could I phone through?
Would it be a catastrophe or could I get to?
How could I get an answer, how to be sure?
If I eagerly come to you, what would you do?

Longing each day, longing each night
Really hope you don’t put up a fight
Need you so bad with all my might
It’s just what has always felt right

If I say I love you, if I eagerly reach for you
What would you say, what would you do?
Could I get to you, could I phone through?
Would it be a catastrophe or could I get to?
How could I get an answer, how to be sure?
If I eagerly come to you, what would you do?

Merely, eagerly reaching out
And eagerly singing aloud

If I say I love you, if I eagerly reach for you
What would you say, what would you do?
Could I get to you, could I phone through?
Would it be a catastrophe or could I get to?
How could I get an answer, how to be sure?
If I eagerly come to you, what would you do?

So soft, I can’t get out my voice
Try so hard, can’t make a noise
It is illusive here like in a dream
I break free just so I can scream

Wake me up inside, make me feel alive
Happiness I strive, I’m on the wrong side
I have dived into this pool of despair
I don’t want to stay here, perform a repair
I am calling out screaming, hear meeee

Stuck here and I can’t even feel
Numb to the core, need to heal
Don’t know which direction to turn
When will I wake up and learn

Wake me up inside, make me feel alive
Happiness I strive, I’m on the wrong side
I have dived into this pool of despair
I don’t want to stay here, perform a repair
I am calling out screaming, hear meeee

Release me from this grave I’m in
Dirt pours, don’t let in be my end

Wake me up inside, make me feel alive
Happiness I strive, I’m on the wrong side
I have dived into this pool of despair
I don’t want to stay here, perform a repair
I am calling out screaming, hear meeee

Sometimes I still think
Of you as eight years old
Yes, just that little girl
But you grew up somehow
Turned into a woman now

And you are beautiful
The out and in the soul
And you are dutiful
You can have it all
So of all the things
That I could sit and tell
Know that I wish you well

You begin a new chapter in life
A journey that takes might
But I know that you have strength
And you also got the brains
The little girl left, you came

And you are beautiful
The out and in the soul
And you are dutiful
You can have it all
So of all the things
That I could sit and tell
Know that I wish you well

No, there is no can’t here
You are on your way there

And you are beautiful
The out and in the soul
And you are dutiful
You can have it all
So of all the things
That I could sit and tell
Know that I wish you well

Things did not go as planned
I believe I need a helping hand
To guide me though the mistakes
To help overcome the heartbreaks

I’m just broken-hearted
Over the life I started
Once I was doing all right
Feel things changed overnight
Now it will all never be the same
Broken-hearted is my name

I hope there are second chances
And new beginnings to enhance
Just like a caterpillar and butterfly
I too one day will again fly high

I’m just broken-hearted
Over the life I started
Once I was doing all right
Feel things changed overnight
Now it will all never be the same
Broken-hearted is my name

Change is inevitable, go with the flow
You never know so I must just let go  

I’m just broken-hearted
Over the life I started
Once I was doing all right
Feel things changed overnight
Now it will all never be the same
Broken-hearted is my name

You left our little bubble
And now you’re in trouble
Again
You left me alone to drown
Saying you’d be back around
When

You're standing in the shallow end
Stuck right there like in quicksand
I wanna help, but you’re out of reach
Nothing left to do as far as I can see
I’ve tried and tried and yet you fail
There’s nothing left for me to deal

You always said one more try
And I would always comply
Why
I’m learning I can’t save you
With all the things you do
Goodbye

You're standing in the shallow end
Stuck right there like in quicksand
I wanna help, but you’re out of reach
Nothing left to do as far as I can see
I’ve tried and tried and yet you fail
There’s nothing left for me to deal

They say people don’t change
And maybe that’s true but...
I gotta let go of you

You're standing in the shallow end
Stuck right there like in quicksand
I wanna help, but you’re out of reach
Nothing left to do as far as I can see
I’ve tried and tried and yet you fail
There’s nothing left for me to deal
