There was a time when I couldn't Stop loving you so much
Haven't seen that me in so long Forgot I shouldn't care
I sang "Dum di di" Who I used to be Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown you couldn't lift
You want me to act a certain way I'm no one's toy no more,
It hurts them to know they can't control me each day Enjoy the pain
I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way
Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own
Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that
I can't ever hate you But had to let you go
Changing myself for your ego and selfish pride stops there
I sang "Karate" Who I used to be Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown you couldn't lift
You want me to act a certain way I'm no one's toy no more,
It hurts them to know they can't control me each day Enjoy the pain
I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way
Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own
Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that
I can't lie, say it was easy, each day alone filled me with fear
But here I stand tall my face to the crowd
I don't need your expectations Made the bricks to pave my way
Fuck that Grammy nomination Happiness cannot be bought
One summer day, we just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here all on your own
Lost in your expectations I can't help you with that
