Can you give me a cogent reason why
I gravitate to things that no one likes?
And do I really want to be this way?
(No)
But I itch and I can't scratch
My back is aching for the lash
I'm a glutton for the punishment
But starving for what I can never get

For the first time in my life
I just want to do what's right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under you
For the first time in my life
I just want to do what feels right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under you

That won't put me under you

And sometimes I don't want to be
Anything, anyone like me
And though the world must share my hate
Why is it so hard to relate?

Well lately now I find
I want to be innocent, experienced at the same time
And time is precious agony
It's never ending yet fleeting from me

For the first time in my life
I just want to do what's right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under you
For the first time in my life
I just want to do what feels right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under you

You don't know what's in my heart but I can show you
You don't know what's in my heart
You don't know what's in my heart but I can show you
You don't know what's in my heart

For the first time in my life
I just want to do what's right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under
For the first time in my life
I just want to do what's right with a childlike wonder
That won't put me under you
For the first time in my life
I just want to do what feels right with a childlike wonder
You don't know what's in my
You don't know what's in my heart
