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? (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 will look at me like none of that is real
Remember we were playing pretend
We dreamt of what would become
Whenever we got old enough
And I was waiting for a princess?
You say I'm going off the deep end (What?)
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 will feel like this
In so deep a way you can't even resist
But you were never to forgive my sins (Never wanted to)
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 (Like that)
So stuck in the loop you can't admit
If you had taken all the time you spend 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
It's still the same for all of us
So why you acting like I'm different?
Maybe one day you will feel like this
In so deep a way you can't even resist
But you were never to forgive my sins (Never wanted to)
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
Watch as we rise up
So back off or keep up
This is to die for
Maybe one day you will feel like this
In so deep a way you can't even resist
But you were never to forgive my sins (My sins, no)
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive (I'm surprised)
'Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs (It's our time to speak up)
Maybe one day you will feel like this
In so deep a way you can't even resist
But you were never to forgive my sins (No, no)
I don't know why I'm surprised that we're so naive (I'm just surprised because)
'Cause I see the best and you are blinded by your beliefs (It's our time to speak up)
Yeah, I've got a reason to fight
(Your time to wise up)
It's a waste of your time even trying, yeah
(Watch as we rise up)
We'll rise up and fight till we die
(So back off or keep up)
So get on with your life and goodbye now
