I will not let others
Dictate my fate
No one can tell me
Who I am, or what I do
I will not let you bother me,
I will not let you take my happiness away
So out of my life, and far you can stay away
My own person I am trying to be
Fixing my broken soul to fly free
To try for me and give effort
That's all I ask
But if not to seize
My life, for you, will not freeze
On my own, I am alone
Guess lonely is how I have to live
I will not fall for you if you have no love to give
So if you try to hold me back, with intention
Or none
I will break free of your chains and move on
Forward without you I will go
You don't get to hold me back when you say no
It's either now or never
Commitment or lose me,
Someone so incredibly amazing
I could belong to someone special
But I will not let those dictate my fate
Even if I am something great
You either have time for me,
Or yours to call mine will not be me
You will not hurt me, no longer
You didn't know that I was stronger
This is who I am, this is what I do
If you hold me back and break my heart
I will move on, and forget about your tearing apart
Numb to who you once were to me
So that I can move on and be free
If you want to keep me, I will stay
But no games will I play
If you want me as yours, if you want me in your arm
Keep me close, and love my heart to keep it warm.
