Lyrics
Lately it just seems, I can't even catch a dream
to make it feel like things are going my way
Recently alone, trying to find my way home,
to find out on my own who I am today
Daily I just say that things will go my way
if I just try to stay in my right frame of mind
Nothin else to do - but sit and write to you
and tell myself to take one day at a time.
I want to be a princess, I want to be adored.
I want to be a rockstar. Is this too much to ask for?
I want to be a rebel and be a mother too.
I just want to be understood.
I want all this, don't you?
I'm so confused inside. I want to run and hide
And just so I'll confide in all who hear me.
One day soon I'll see, the plain reality
that nothing comes for free, it must be done by me.
Repeat chorus.
