The walls are coming down again
Said he's coming too close
Who's coming too close
I don't know
Mama said she's so afraid
Said I can't handle me
But then who can handle me
Say you work from nine to five
Kiss the kids goodbye
Like a doll who'll never grow
Well, it's hard to say
Where she is today
Cause I don't wanna wake
I don't wanna lie
To myself a day at a time for the better
I don't wanna push
I don't wanna thrive
If it doesn't mean it's for you
Just for others
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna die
Knowing that we could've
Lived our lives much better
Said oooh oooh, yeah
Ohhhh
My confidence needs some space
Ran across the country
To retrieve sanity eh eh
But when the distance got too great
Chaos took over me
Devoid of priority
Say you work from nine to five
Kiss the kid goodbye
I'm doll who'll never grow, no
I won't say
Shit today
I'm chasing the rules
Like a woman undercover
I'm splitting the bills
I don't give into no pressure
I'm taking my time
Earning my dime
Stop
I'm earning for myself an encore
I don't wanna lie
To myself a day at a time
For the better
I don't wanna push
I don't wanna thrive
If it doesn't mean it's for you
Just for others
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna die
Knowing that we could've
Lived our lives much better
Said oooh oooh, yeah
Oooh oooh, ohhhh
