Lyrics

Oh
I've been silent
For way too long and
Too gentle for my own good
With the people who've done me wrong
What am I waiting for?
It's my turn to speak up (it's my turn, it's my turn)
And your turn to wise up (it's your turn, it's your turn)
And watch as we rise up (watch and learn, watch and learn)
So back off or keep up (it's our turn, it's our turn)
This is to die for
It's not a random choice to make
I've had this in me since I was a kid
And here I am knowing that yesterday I could tell you 'bout my feels
Now I'm afraid that you'll look at me like none of that is real
Remember we were playing pretend
We dreamed of who we would become
Whenever we got old enough
And I was waiting for a princess
You say I'm going off the deep end
But whenever you fall in love
It's still the same for all of us
So why you acting like I'm different?
Maybe one day you'll feel like this
And so deeply you can't even resist
But you are never to forgive my sins
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive
Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs
You wanna live your life like this?
So stuck in a loop you can't admit
If you had taken all the time you spent on me to focus on yourself
I know you'd be in a better place to take care of someone else
But you're too busy playing pretend
I can't believe what you've become
And I don't wanna play along
Cause I already found a princess
Now you're going off the deep end
Just know the day you fall in love
Still the same for all of us
So why you acting like I'm different?
Maybe one day you'll feel like this
And so deeply you can't even resist
But you are never to forgive my sins
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive
Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs
It's our turn to speak up
And your turn to wise up
And watch as we rise up
So back off or keep up
This is to die for
Maybe one day you'll feel like this
And so deeply you can't even resist
But you are never to forgive my sins
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive
Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs
(It's our turn to speak up)
Maybe one day you'll feel like this
And so deeply you can't even resist
But you are never to forgive my sins
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive
Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs
It's our turn to speak up
I've got a reason to fight, yeah
And your turn to wise up
It's a waste of your time even trying
And watch as we rise up
We'll rise up and fight till we die, uh
So back off or keep up
So get on with your life and goodbye now
