Everybody's watching
but no one says a word
Sweet little sister, I don't know what you've heard
but all these dark beauties, standing in line
they're waiting on me to finally shine

Don't let me, don't let them let me
Why can't they see this is all that I can be?
Stranger things have happened
but they won't happen to me
I will never change, so please just let me be

I had a dream and then it came true
but my dreams are all fucked up
and I'm afraid of what they might do
Isn't it enough that life's so scary by day?
Do my dreams have to make it into a play-by-play?

Don't let them, why do you let them?
Don't let them stay and ruin me this way
Give me just a minute and I know I'll be okay
but I can never change, so please just go away

Now they're running away
tails between their legs
You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs
Yes, they're running away, head first for the hills
This wouldn't have happened if I'd just taken my pills

But don't let me, don't let them let me
Why can't you see this is all that I can be?
Stranger things have happened
but they won't happen to me
I will never change, so please just let me be
