When I look into my past
I see the carefree girl in me
When I look into my future
I see the woman I want to be
Ask me how I’ll get there
And I’ll answer I’m not too sure
Ask me when I’ll get there
And I’ll answer when there’s a cure
So much has happened in my past
That shaped who I am today
But it scares me to death to think
That I will always be this way
Too afraid to open up completely
Too scared to be alone
Unsure of where my heart should be
Not willing to throw him a bone
Someday it will all change
That’s what everyone says to me
But I have yet to see this happen
Someone please set me free
All I want is to be happy
All I want is to be in love
But how can I get those great things
With these feelings I can’t get rid of
They infect me like a virus
Feasting on my emotions to the core
Destroying everything in their path
Not letting me live anymore
