Now Or Never

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.
