Paradox

You... You told me that I was wrong I should be something I'm not You said I need to be strong You... You stole my freedom from me And told me who I should be But it's "because you love me" When I was dancing, feeling Like I could move my body to my own beat You told me: If I'm to be happy I should sit down, hold back Because nobody likes somebody like that Yeah, I'm too loud And I'm too proud Deeply seated flaws Yeah I'm a lost cause Guess I'm too much But I'm not enough Everything at once Call me a paradox You... Built this insecurity Punishing me endlessly You said that "it was good for me" And I Ate every word of your lies And saw myself through your eyes But who are you to criticize When I was dancing, feeling Like I could move my body to my own beat You told me: If I'm to be happy I should sit down, hold back Because nobody likes somebody like that Yeah, I'm too loud And I'm too proud Deeply seated flaws Yeah I'm a lost cause Guess I'm too much But I'm not enough Everything at once Call me a paradox Oh, I'm too loud And I'm too proud Deeply seated flaws Yeah I'm a lost cause Guess I'm too much But I'm not enough Everything at once Call me a paradox And I don't care And I ain't going nowhere Yeah, I'm too loud And I'm too proud Deeply seated flaws Yeah I'm a lost cause Guess I'm too much But I'm not enough Everything at once Call me a paradox
