Since I was a child I've always been told I talk too much, too fast, too loud - Keep it low, hold it back, stay down Stay down, hold it back, keep it low I thought you all would like to see me down Was so sure you all would like to see me down 'Cause I knew you all would like to see me down I was sure you all would like to see me down 'Cause I know you all go crazy when someone tries to live those dreams I know you all go crazy It's not allowed to break free This life was given to me Believe you just live once Look at me I got so much to give I got to give it all before I'm done I wanna feel, I wanna feel for real I wanna shine so you all can see I'm gonna rise above all my fears I wanna live, I wanna live for real It's the fight for being part of when you're still always on your own It's the fight for staying honest when a lie's so easily told It's the fight between giving and the fear of what there is to lose It's the fight believing when there's so much to doubt I wanna feel, I wanna feel for real I wanna shine so you all can see I'm gonna rise above all my fears I wanna live, I wanna live for real This life was given to me Believe you just live once Look at me I got so much to give I got to give it all before I'm done
