You think you can write all the words that I say
I tried to scream but you turn my volume down anyway
I think I want to do it myself from now on
So I won’t have to say please that much
But you won’t let me go, you need me to know
That I

I can be as feminine and masculine as I need
Just as long as it's in line with what you choose to preach today
And it's never the same
I guess I'm getting tired, uninspired and I
Might be
Right on time for a leap of faith

It's not been long since I thought I'd make it
It's come to mind it's just what I need to do
My eyes tear up and the heartbeat races
But it’s not different when I am with you

You broke my mind one too many times
Made me look for reason in a lie
I kept quiet for the first few nights
Now you’ll never make me cry

Left me out when I reached for you
Made me think I was insane
Sat beside broken glass and glue
This was never worth my pain

That's just how the world began
I am woman, you are man
You try so hard, but I'll never leave
Boy, you can't have me

Don’t keep chasing after me
You write these careful drafts so that I can't speak
It’s just like it always has been
You turn my volume down but I guess now I have the keys

I can be as feminine and masculine as I need
And I don’t give a fuck ‘bout what you’re gonna think of me today
We’re all so fucking tired, uninspired and it might be
Right on time for a leap of faith

You broke my mind one too many times
Made me look for reason in a lie
I kept quiet for the first few nights
Now you’ll never make me cry

Left me out when I reached for you
Made me think I was insane
Sat beside broken glass and glue
This was never worth my pain

When the doors close, where do we go?
If not straight out of the window
When it all goes down, will I be a fool?
All because I trusted you
I've never been more alone than when I was with you

You (you)
Can’t (can’t)
Have (have)
Me!

That’s just how the world begins (2x)
You can’t have me
You can’t have
