Surrender

I surrender, I'm gonna write this song
I surrender, this fights gone on too long
I surrender, it's time to get some of it done
Keep tryna be someone I don't believe
I've had enough of it, I need space to breathe
Cos I am moving on again, no matter what you're saying
I'm walking through this door.
and I am getting on this train, no way that I'm staying here for one minute more.
I surrender, I'll lie in bed all day
I surrender, I'll let my heart lead the way
I surrender, you've gotta be who you'll be come what may
Sometimes I try too hard for what I need
But I've had enough of it just watch me leave
Cos I am moving on again, no matter what you're saying
I'm walking through this door.
and I am getting on this train, no way that I'm staying here for one minute more.
I surrender, I'm gonna write this song
I surrender, this fights gone on too long
I surrender, I'll never get everything done
The doubts inside my mind will never leave
now I'm standing up to it, I need space to breathe
Cos I am moving on again, no matter what you're saying
I'm walking through this door.
and I am getting on this train, no way that I'm staying here for one minute more.

Don't Teach Me

She taught e everything, everything I know
My shame my anger, my grief my woe
Don't teach me please don't preach me
You don't know who I am
Don't squeeze me don't disease me
I will not be condemned
Can't read me or deceive me
I won't fall for your scam
Don't try cos you wont reach me
Nobody's stopping this plan.
It is so precious here, being inside me
the fragile power of searching for my beauty
Chorus
This place is all my own, I'm loosing everything
Gently forgetting, the human bruising
Chorus

Out of Hiding

When I come out of hiding I imagine this is how I will feel
plastic fantastic and everything's great, but is it really real
Cos I see you there a smiling and I don't believe a word
keep chasing what you're hiding without knowing what it's worth
In a box of my own creation, cobwebs cover all the walls
I scream and I shout in fear 'just get me out of here'
How did I crawl into this hole?
Cos I see you there a smiling and I don't believe a word
keep chasing what you're hiding without knowing what it's worth
And I'm gonna blow it all to pieces got myself a big shiny grenade
Moving one step away, every day, i'm walking upright out of this cave
Cos I see you there a smiling and I don't believe a word
keep chasing what you're hiding without knowing what it's worth
And when I come out and fine you and I show you what I've learned
You'll see I was right behind you, it's just that you never turned.
