(I need to change the title, here's another song.)


You love to

swing me around

Like your most prized possession

But you always put me back down 

And let me be my own person


When I stand out 

You're looking at me

I'm alone in the crowd

But you're smiling and proud

Of me?


Sweet, whispers at night

Kisses, making sure I'm alright

At dawn, you teach me how to fight

Make sure I never need to run with fright 


When I leave you, out of guilt

Thinking you deserve better

I can't help falling limp

When you pull me in closer


It's like you've vowed to protect me

And break every chain 

They've shackled me

With


I've never felt allowed to live

The way that I want before

Free from the scolding

The anger, the taunts


I've never been told

To love myself before 

Even with my

Flaws, wrong choices, wild emotions


How could you ever say something so nice?

Are you really talking to me?

Am I living in a dream?

Are you someone I can even see?


When I use my voice

To stand up for someone else 

You'll start the filming

Beaming and cheering

For me.


When I stand out

I see you looking at me

I'm alone in the crowd

I'm smiling, we're proud

Of me.
