Not Your Darling

Let me be who I am

I don't need to be anyone

But a sister and a daughter

Only someone's special other

In our own world

Let me be where I am

I don't need to be where you are

I am growing my own garden

Don't need you to pick me flowers

I got my own

Let me be who I am

I don't need to be your darling

Won't be softening my edges

I'll project my broken patterns

Cause I could be anywhere

But I'm here anyway (I'm here anyway)

And all of the second thoughts

Fade away (Fade away)

(I'm here anyway)

Let me say why I give up your lesson

No more whispers

I endeavor my own being

Shine a light on what I'm feeling

And no longer hide

Your narrow perspective

Only matters if I let it

Take me under for a minute

Let it claim me til I'm coming up for air

Cause I could be anywhere

But I'm here anyway (I'm here anyway)

And all of the second thoughts

Fade away (Fade away)

And I could be anywhere

But I'm here anyway (I'm here anyway)

And all of the second thoughts

Fade away (Fade away)

I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway

I could be anywhere

But I'm here anyway

(I'm here anyway)

All of the second thoughts

Fade away

(I'm here anyway)

I could be anywhere

But I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway

I'm here anyway
