I Won't Do A Backflip

I won't do a backflip or dance
When I just don't feel like it
I won't force myself to enjoy
A time that I'm supposed to look back at
And say
I loved it
Say
When I turn grey I'll remember this and
Think I'd do that again

Yes, I lost a couple of bets but
I can't make these high heels work
Yes, I have a crush on someone but
I ain't worth more than a smirk
I'm shy
Too shy to
Write
A story
I would sing about

And yet I wanna be who I am
Stand where I'm home
Sing my anthem
Till my blood flows through my bones
I wanna show you my soul
Not play a role
Lose all control
So I'd say amen afterwards

What else should I say?
Looks like I'm the one in my way
When it comes to that day
It may be best to go ahead and play
Play brave
My thoughts will run and I won't calm down
No, I don't know how to let go

To let go
To let go
To let go
No I don't know how to let go
It's so hard
It's so hard
Ooooh-oh-oooh

I wanna be who I am
Stand where I'm home
Sing my anthem
Till my blood flows through my bones
I wanna show you my soul
Not play a role
Lose all control
So I'd say amen afterwards
