If I don't fit the mold
Will you break your hold
I long to be free
Why can't I just be me?
In the early years of growing pains
Lessons on life are taught without doubt
I must prove worthy of your names
I'm shown my predetermined route
Already I can feel the chains
Just trying to please
But I can't do it anymore
I beg your release
Why didn't I ask before
If I don't fit the mold
Will you break your hold
I long to be free
Why can't I just be me?
Everything changed when I met you
Expectations raised during life
Childhood and fantasies are through
Considerably more since I'm a wife
What should I do
Dreams shattered, heart tattered... and torn
Why do I feel so worn
Twisting, turning, breaking in two
If only I knew...
If I don't fit the mold
Will you break your hold
I long to be free
Why can't I just be me?
