Be the Change

I know you want to see me cry

But I was tucked in without a lullaby

So the most you'll get is a furrowed brow

Lack of eye contact and a wave goodbye

I'll be the change when I wanna be

Leave it unexplained how I act this way

Conclude my story with a degrading phrase

Because I never meant to be this way

I've come this far without a steering wheel

Refusing all requests to make my own dreams real

So now I waste my time just thinking of this perfect street

Where trees line the road, and I'm in the driver's seat

I'll be the change when I wanna be

Leave it unexplained how I act this way

Conclude my story with a degrading phrase

Because I never meant to be this way
