lyrics

Close your eyes feel what is deep inside you
And open up to me

Wake up little girl
You're dragging on your feet
Loneliness won’t help you feel complete
I know it’s hard to find out who you are
But staring at a screen won’t get you far

Don’t give yourself away
You’ll give it all away
Don’t give yourself away
You’re giving it away now
You’re giving it away
You’re wasting it away
I know you’re afraid
But you got more to say

I need you to open up your eyes
And see what I can see
Learn to trust yourself not others
And just set your instinct free

One day you’ll look back realise
The time you wasted on lies
Was not you but pain in disguise
Just be yourself and
Doubt what you know so you can learn
That life will twist and turn
In ways you that you cannot control
Just free yourself

Don’t give yourself away
You’ll give it all away
Don’t give yourself away
You’re giving it away
You’re giving it away
You’re wasting it away
I know you’re afraid
But you got more to say now

One day you’ll look back and smile
At that girl who was so shy
And tell her everything will be fine
Now you know yourself and
What you held to be true
Are just thoughts that you will undo
It is not an impossible task
If you know yourself and

Ohhh

And what we thought was the truth
Are just moments we can undo
Life is not an impossible task
I’m waiting for you
