Lyrics

(V1)
I'M JUST ANOTHER GIRL
WHO FEELS OUT OF PLACE
I'M WEARING A SMILE
LIKE MAKEUP ON MY FACE

BUT I WON'T GIVE UP
WHEN I DON'T FIT IN
'CAUSE I CAN'T PRETEND ANYMORE

(CH)
OH YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
I'M LETTING GO
IT'S ALL SUPERFICIAL

HEY GET OUT OF MY WAY
I'M BREAKING FREE
I'M NOT THE GIRL I USED TO BE

(V2)
I HAVE BEEN STUCK MY WHOLE LIFE
AFRAID TO SPEAK
I'M REACHING FOR MY DREAMS
AND TRIPPING OVER MY OWN FEET

BUT THE WORLD WILL SEE
WHEN I BELIEVE
IN THE BETTER PART OF ME

(CH 2)

(BR)
ALL MY LIFE
I'VE GIVEN UP
AND GIVEN IN

BUT NOW I'VE CHANGED
BROKEN OUT OF MY SHELL
GONNA LET ALL MY LIGHT SHINE OUT
AND HOPE SINK IN

(V3)
I DON'T WHERE I'M GOING
BUT I KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN
THE ANSWER TO ALL MY QUESTIONS
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WITHIN

AND I'VE COME SO FAR
GONNA MAKE A STAND
TRUE TO WHO I AM


(CH)
OH YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
I'M LETTING GO
IT'S ALL SUPERFICIAL

HEY GET OUT OF MY WAY
I'M BREAKING FREE
I'M NOT THE GIRL I USED TO BE
