Life's not for wasting it is for living,
There's so much more to me that I could be giving,
But they don't look and therefore they don't see,
The other, gentler side to me,
I know myself and that means I know,
That there is a side to me that I do not show,
I can be quiet and I can be free,
But I just end up being what they expect me to be,
I cannot change their opinion so why should I try?
To change who I am their standards are too high,
I feel like I'm spending my life in a book,
I'll look back and miss what they took,
They're taking my childhood, they're taking what's me,
I'm just an experiment for everyone to see,
But I don't want to be observed I want to be left alone,
I'm lost in the wilderness and I want to go home.
