they had a part for me in society, but that wasn?t me.
 they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see.
 that if i wanted to be myself i couldn?t be myself without me!

 so here i am!
 i stepped out!
 to be free!

 'cause with all that?s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
 i can still decide what?s best for me, i can still say all i want.
 "now that i?m free!"

 i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny.
 ev?rybody would pass me by, i couldn?t pacify the urge in me!
 cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can?t you see.
 that if i wanted to be myself i couldn?t be myself without me!

 so here i am!
 i stepped out!
 to be free!

 'cause with all that?s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
 i can still decide what?s best for me, i can still stay in control.
 now that i?m free!

 you didn?t think that i would try...
 you never knew what?s on my mind...
 you didn?t think i?d really try to be more than this!?
 i had to live in agony...
 i knew you?re looking down on me...
 but i always knew that i would be so much more than this!

 'cause with all that?s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
 i can still decide what?s best for me, i can still say all i want!
