I’m moving on, please fight for me.
I’m changing now, don’t bring me back.
I’m questioning, tell me the answers.
I’m curious, tell me.
I’m broke and can’t be fixed, please fix me.

I’m different, live with it.
I’m quite, make me loud
I’m tired, let me sleep
I’m sleeping, wake me up.

I’m confused, don’t explain
I’m lost, convince me it’s true
I’m dreaming, stop me.
