There was a time when I couldn't
Stop loving you so much
Haven't seen that me for so long
Forgot I shouldn't care


I sang "Dum di di"
Who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown you couldn't lift


You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain


I don't need your expectations


Made the bricks to pave my way


Fuck that Grammy nomination


Happiness cannot be bought


One summer day,
we just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
all on your own


Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that


I can't ever hate you
But had to let you go
Changing myself for your ego
and selfish pride stops there


I sang "Karate"
Who I used to be
Is not who I am, look at me
These dreams of mine
Do not need your advice or cheap blessing
Here's my crown you couldn't lift


You want me to act a certain way
I'm no one's toy no more, it hurts them
To know they can't control me each day
Enjoy the pain


I don't need your expectations


Made the bricks to pave my way


Fuck that Grammy nomination


Happiness cannot be bought


One summer day,
we just might meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
all on your own


Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that


I can't lie, say it was easy,
each day alone filled me with fear
But here I stand tall
My face to the crowd


I don't need your expectations


Made the bricks to pave my way


Fuck that Grammy nomination


Happiness cannot be bought


One summer day,
we might just meet up again
Hey, look at you sitting here
all on your own


Lost in your expectations
I can't help you with that
