The Ballad of Miss Cooney

I never caved to anything
Even when the world had brought me to my knees
I never know when the time is right
Or to say goodbye
But at least I know whats mine

I spent most of my life forever chasing sleep
I never felt like the world had had a place for me
And in my mind I felt I should be someone else
I'd rather never fit in than never be myself

I've got a million things I want to say
I never had planned it out this way
And I know that it's the time for make or break

I've made my choice, I'm doing this for me
Chasing everything I've ever seen in my sleep
Holding on to anything I wanted to be
And letting go of anyone who wouldn't believe
So go and I'll be here for now
Chasing words to break these walls
That you spent years putting up for me
I'm never going to be what you want me to be, so go

After all these years I've never wasted time
I put my pen to the paper and started to write
These walls will break you down
And I'll never regret the way this life turned out

It may be hard to find a home this way
But I will never let judgement have its say
I'm letting go of those that don't believe
Cause deep down, I still believe in me

It may be hard to find a home this way
But I will never let judgement have its say
I'm letting go of those that don't believe
Cause deep down, I still believe in me
