Lyrics
I´ve gotta be breaking up with ev`rything I know,
I need to end relationships with everything familiar to me.
If I want to break ground with anything I´ve got to show,
To make progress, I must demonstrate something significant.
´cause if there´s a person in the world that I've got to please it´s me not you.
I prioritize pleasing myself over pleasing others.
I´ve got to stand up for what I´ve gotta say,
I must assert my beliefs and opinions.
Gotta be lettin´my inner light show me the way,
My inner light should guide me in expressing my true self.
To be as much of me as I can let myself be...until my dying day.
I aim to be authentic until my last day.
Cause I won´t sell myself to you...
I refuse to compromise my integrity for you.
I was never the kind of person to follow like sheep,
I don't conform to others; I don't follow blindly.
I´m not gonna lie in the bed you made for me,
I won't accept the consequences of your actions.
Sometimes the easy way is the harder way to try to set your mind at ease.
The seemingly easy path may not be the best for peace of mind.
I´ve got to let temptations fall aside,
I need to resist tempting distractions.
Gotta be letting my heart say what´s wrong or right...
My heart should guide my sense of right and wrong.
Still be as much of me as I can, let myself be, as long as I decide.
I'll remain true to myself as long as I decide.
Cause I won´t sell myself to you...
I won't compromise my identity for you.
I´m so sick and tired of everything you do to me,
I'm fed up with the negative impact you have on me.
Say something new to me, like ´do as you please,
Say something original; let me live freely.
´cause I´m havin´a hard time when you do these things to me,
Your actions make it difficult for me to cope.
Like I´m guilty or something, whatever you´re trying to say...
I feel accused or misunderstood by your words.
I´m not lazy or stupid or nothing,
I'm not lacking effort or intelligence.
But I´ve gotta be pulling myself aside to stop all the fussing and fighting my friend.
I need to step back to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
I won´t sell myself to you !
I won't compromise my values for you.
