In The Middle

There's somethin 'bout the way The ocean pours in over you Oh, it's something I can't explain Reflecting on the ways My heart has pulled through (Ways) Oh it's something I cannot change Oh, I know that you gotta go You gotta do what you're supposed to do Just know there's no one to blame We always get stuck in the middle This life seems so simple Until there's no reason to stay Yeah Ooh In between the ups and downs Somewhere in the ins and outs I been lookin', lookin' for you Ooh I was hoping you would find me out In between the ups and downs I been lookin', lookin' for you Ooh I seem to drown From the weight of the signs When my head is under water And I'm swimmin' through my mind Yeah Nothing can stop the way I used to know you Hold you I guess it's scary to admit to yourself Gotta let go of your past To become someone else I know that I'll miss you But I got some issues And oh, I know I know that you gotta go You gotta do what you're supposed to do Just know there's no one to blame We always get stuck in the middle This life seems so simple Until there's no reason to stay Yeah Ooh In between the ups and downs Somewhere in the ins and outs I been lookin', lookin' for you Ooh I was hoping you would find me out In between the ups and downs I been lookin', lookin' for you Ooh I know that the fans been patient My plans are late And I think they've been waiting enough I know there's no time To waste just by contemplating And trust me, I hear all your thoughts "She signed to a label What if she changes? What if her memory fades And forgets all the people who loved her before she was famous? Started from nothing, man How could you blame us?" No, no, no, no I know, I get it Don't feel misunderstood One of my idols signed a deal Did shit they said they never would But I did not get this fuckin far To be some puppet on some shelf & I haven't fought for who I am Just to become somebody else I know it's hard But I'll fight for who I was And who I will be To become somebody greater And at the same time Stay the same me And I still don't give a fuck 'bout what they say to me Stay true to who you are And never do it quietly Don't panic
