Why?: A Look Inside My Mind

Sunday, February 7, 2016

I can remember a time when I was so afraid
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me

So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for

I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right

But I, I, I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
For, for, for

So put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A high heel wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no

Ooooh oh [x2]

Throw away the key
I dare you

Ooooh oh [x2]

And I won't let you tear me down, no

I just kept on running, running, running
Trying to find out who I was
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
Yeah! Yeah!
I can remember a time when I was so afraid

Put me in a cage
Lock me in a room
Throw away the key
I dare you
I'll break down the walls
A high heel wrecking ball
And I won't let you tear me down, no

Ooooh oh [x2]

Throw away the key
I dare you

Ooooh oh [x2]

And I won't let you tear me down, no [x2]

I won't let you tear me down no

Ooooh

Does it make you feel good to make me feel small?
When you're pushing me down, does it make you feel tall?
Pointing out my flaws cause you wanna erase them all
Does it make you feel good to make me feel small?

Did somebody make you feel invisible?
Is it true hurt people hurt people?
The way you hate and break
It don't make no sense at all
But you're not gonna make me feel invisible

Betcha didn't think I knew what I was made of
Thought I would lay down
I wouldn't stand up
Well listen up cause you got it all wrong
This is your song, this is your song

Oh, you'd love if you crumble me up
In the palm of your hands
Well, I bet that sucks
Cause now you know you can't

Does it make you feel good to make me feel small?
When you're pushing me down, does it make you feel tall?

I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll
I'm not a paper doll
Can't make me what you want
You just build me up and tear me down
Enough's enough
Go, leave me alone
Cut me down but I won't fall
I'm not a paper doll
-Bea Miller

I don't know why but my hands are shaking
I can see you coming and I stand here waiting
Yeah I get tongue tied in the conversation
It's an F'd up, bad, sick situation

I tried to tie my heart down, board up all the windows
Oh but it's too late now
I let you get too close
I know I should take cover, hide inside these four walls
But baby I surrender, it all

'Cause you're a force of nature
Look at what you've done
I can taste the danger but I don't wanna run
So pull me to the ground and I won't put up a fight
I'm a caution taker, but baby you're a force of nature
Baby you're a force of nature

I feel your lips move in and they take me under
You know just what to do, how to make me want you
And I know I'll be broken when it's over
Oh but I can't help but pull you closer

I tried to tie my heart down, board up all the windows
Oh but it's too late now
I let you get too close

I'll be here 'till we collide
I don't care if I survive
So crash into me one more time
Yeah, yeah, oh

Baby you're a force of nature
-Bea Miller

I like it loud, you turn it down
You wanna talk, but what about?
I wanna dance, you cut me off
Who falls asleep at ten o clock?

I was the girl layin' in the dirt
Rather ripped up jeans than a mini skirt
Don't need two hours to get out the door
You're supposed to be the guy, why do you need more?

Ain't got no sympathy
Don't wipe your tears on me
I hate to be so mean
But I just have to say

And I never will be the girl who says sorry
And you should have known right from the start
I needed a hero, and I got a zero, so pack your bags
And take your broken heart

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, ay
This is not an apology
-Bea Miller

Here is my story, I've got my type
Tattoos and skinny jeans, black boots and piercings
A public enemy

Not Cinderella, still got my shoes
I like the animal, the supernatural
Maybe I'm crazy but

I am a night owl, I come alive
I'll make the sun go down so I can see you out
Straight to the underground

I like the broken, imperfect rules
That's why you're wonderful, it's undeniable
I might be crazy but

If you were Dracula
I'd be letting you take that bite
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite

Yeah I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful

Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me
Only one kiss, only one
Only one kiss, you'll be k-k-k-k-killing me

Hey! Hey!

If you were Dracula
I'd be letting you take that bite
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite

Yeah I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah I love, I love the tragically beautiful
-Bea Miller

This is to the ones who broke our hearts
This is to the ones who played a part
In making our lives a living hell
This is to the voices in our heads
This is to the ones who always said
We wouldn't amount to anything

This is for the ones who you walk by
This is for the ones who took their lives
It gets better, give it time
This is for the girls who like chicks
And this is for the guys who like chick flicks
Baby, the world is yours and mine

So what if we're not perfect
And so what, we know we're worth it

Listen up, here's our song
For the young, the lost, and the underdogs
We're taking over
We're taking over
We get it right and we get it wrong
But we got used to staying strong
We're taking over
We're taking over now, now, now, yeah

We're still standing, we're still breathing
We're still fighting, we're not leaving
Let me see you, if you hear me, sing along
We're still standing, we're still breathing
We're still fighting, we're not leaving
Let me see you, if you hear me, sing along

Listen up, here's our song
For the young, the lost, and the underdogs
We're taking over
We're taking over
We get it right and we get it wrong
But we got used to staying strong
We're taking over
We're taking over now, now, now, yeah
We're taking over now, now, now, yeah
We're taking over now
