I do this for my people
No I'm not too proud, to say I need you
I've been out here, doing what I need to
I've traveled on this journey, just to see you
You're my light that shines bright, through the darkness
Even when times are the hardest
And my heart becomes a target
I promise it'll never harden
No, no, no, no
I'll always be fine, when I'm with all my friends
Never would lie, yeah, it doesn't make sense
And I'm out of my mind, living in the past tense
But I might as well try, like a little wise hen
You see? I had vanished for weeks
My heart had been damaged and beat
And over the years, I'd look into the mirror,
And see they made a man outta me
Keep it quiet, as if we have a choice,
Always been looping around like a merry-go
They know I mask all my struggles with joy,
Feels like everything around me's hysterical
All the regrets that I'm holding, I'll bury those,
Even if I know they're evil and terrible
I just wish, that I could find the words to say,
But I can't do it, almost like I was Ariel
I know what it's gotta be, there's a different side of me
Don't have the faith in myself anymore,
And I don't know what I should believe
Feels like they've gotten me down to the core,
And I'm not who I wanted to be
They tried to open my heart, but they can't with no key
I do this for my people
No I'm not too proud, to say I need you
I've been out here, doing what I need to
I've traveled on this journey, just to see you
You're my light that shines bright, through the darkness
Even when times are the hardest
And my heart becomes a target
I promise it'll never harden
No, no, no, no
There's no one I'll say that I'm better than
Only with you do I know what forever is
Playing with fire, 'cause I'm in my element
One day I'll fly, as though I'm in Neverland
Wondering why they would take her
Promise you I'd travel hundreds of acres
Honestly willing to help, and I'd give up myself,
If that means that I finished a favor
Look, I'mma save her
I just want this side of me to restart
It's like the world tried to pry us apart
Light in me shined, when I had a spark
And it feels like you've taken, a dive in my heart
But you can relate, to you, I don't know what to say
It's pretty uneven, when fighting my demons,
I wish they would just go away
And the scope of this pain, I can see it lasting
It's a shame this is what I'm tasked with
Nothing will change, think I'm needing practice
I can't escape, I feel like I'm Jasmine
It's getting harder to mask it, you don't even know,
The price of your actions
And I was never completed, they were all I needed,
But I guess I'll find put what happens
I do this for my people
No I'm not too proud, to say I need you
I've been out here, doing what I need to
I've traveled on this journey, just to see you
You're my light that shines bright, through the darkness
Even when times are the hardest
And my heart becomes a target
I promise it'll never harden
No, no, no, no
