Can't you let go   I know you mean well but it's time you know   Time to give my wings   I want to find my dreams   As selfish as it seems      Cause I don't belong   To any person place or any thing   And you can tell me I'm wrong   In your closed reality   There's no place left for me      I know that it's not fair   But when I die   I will die with my pride   Taking my chances on the voice from inside   And when I get there   There better not be one thing   That I haven't tried      You want love then be free   To face the danger face it graciously   I know the world can be cruel   And make you feel a fool   I'll share the pain with you      I know that it's not fair   Life isn't fair   But when I die I will die with my pride   Taking my chances on the voice from inside   And when I get there   There better not be one thing that I haven't tried      God how I've tried to be what you had wanted me to be   Cried please don't you cry   I'm still the same girl   Hold me and you'll see      Maybe all that we need   Is time to let it be   For now we'll make believe      I know that it's not fair   Life isn't fair      But when I die   I will die with my pride   Taking my chances    On a voice from inside   And when I get there   There better not be one thing   That I haven't tried      And baby baby when I get there    I need to know I got to know one thing   That I haven't lied
