VERSE1:
Maybe I just need to live and let live
Let go and give myself a chance to feel
Be free and be real but how do I deal
There’s so much pressure to keep it all in check, not lose my self respect but
CHORUS:
Somethings gotta give, I’ve been mauling it over.
Could run away, start it all over
but what would my Dad say?
“You’re throwing it all away, babe. Be careful, be safe. But don’t make my same mistakes”.
VERSE2:
So here I sit, throwing myself a pity party.
I sometimes feel sorry for wanting to be happy.
Could I have my cake and eat it too? Don’t ever wanna feel this blue sitting in a room with you.
I’m just gonna let love do what it do but
CHORUS:
Somethings gotta give, I’ve been mauling it over.
Could run away, start it all over
but what would my Dad say?
“You’re throwing it all away, babe. Be careful, be safe. But don’t make my same mistakes”.
Bridge:
Maybe the thing that’s gotta give is me
The version of myself that’s scared to leave
‘Cause every road I’ve never taken
Still keeps calling out my name
And I can’t keep living
Just afraid of change
Somethings gotta give, I’ve been mauling it over.
Could run away, start it all over
but what would my Dad say?
“You’re throwing it all away, babe. Be careful, be safe. But don’t make my same mistakes”.
