sedgwick - paradox

You...
You told me that I was wrong
I should be something I'm not
You said I need to be strong
You...
You stole my freedom from me
And told me who I should be
But it's "because you love me"
When I was dancing, feeling
Like I could move my body to my own beat
You told me: If I'm to be happy
I should sit down, hold back
Because nobody likes somebody like that
Yeah,
I'm too loud
And I'm too proud
Deeply seated flaws
Yeah I'm a lost cause
Guess I'm too much
But I'm not enough
Everything at once
Call me a paradox
You...
Built this insecurity
Punishing me endlessly
You said that "it was good for me"
And I
Ate every word of your lies
And saw myself through your eyes
But who are you to criticize
When I was dancing, feeling
Like I could move my body to my own beat
You told me: If I'm to be happy
I should sit down, hold back
Because nobody likes somebody like that
Yeah,
I'm too loud
And I'm too proud
Deeply seated flaws
Yeah I'm a lost cause
Guess I'm too much
But I'm not enough
Everything at once
Call me a paradox
Oh,
I'm too loud
And I'm too proud
Deeply seated flaws
Yeah I'm a lost cause
Guess I'm too much
But I'm not enough
Everything at once
Call me a paradox
And I don't care
And I ain't going nowhere
Yeah,
I'm too loud
And I'm too proud
Deeply seated flaws
Yeah I'm a lost cause
Guess I'm too much
But I'm not enough
Everything at once
Call me a paradox
