about

I wrote this one with the intention of exploring the concept of being unapologetically oneself. What I’ve realized is that sometimes that means not listening to the nay-sayers around you, even if it hurts their feelings or expectations.

lyrics

I don’t know, I don’t know
How to get out of this
I have been locked in my head
And everyone, everyone’s
Got their own opinions
I have been buried in them

I can be kind if kindness is called for
I can tear my heart for you
I can be nice if niceness is needed
I can swallow up the blues

But I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it isn’t now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed

I can be, I can be
Anything I want to be
I don’t really need your two cents
So stay with me, quietly
Pointing out all that I need
But leave me without taking offense

I can be soft if someone is hurting
I can give my heart away
I can be strong if courage is waning
I can choose the words that I say

And I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it isn’t now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head

(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, cause I’m gonna listen to my heartbeat
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, cause I’m gonna cut it with my own teeth, baby
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, let it go ‘cause I’m gonna fall and scrape my own knees
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, let it go

It’s a lot, it’s a lot
Working out what I am not
Anyone I know would get lost
But there’s a sea, there’s a sea
Changing tides inside of me
If you stay, you’re bound to get caught

And I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it is not now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
