Oooh no no nooo
If I don't say anything, it's wrong
If I said it it wouldn't come out right
It's been keepin me up all night.
Half my life I've been told to shut up
So how'm I gonna open up?
Wish you could just read my mind.
If I shed all of me would you run away?
If I sugar coated what I had to say in poetry
Would it make you stay?
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelin's
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart
Unafraid of the truth.
Even if I stood alone
I didn't know how it was gon' go
Even if the world was cold, I take a deep breath
And get it off my chest
And hope for the best
They say either way you win
If it's what you want, why hold it in?
And if it's not meant to be, and you tell the truth it will set you free
But all the wind storm doesn't help me now
I'm scared and I gotta find out
How to speak my mind without metaphors and prose and rhymes
And still make you mine
I hope you know what I mean when I'm actin' mean
Cause I don't say what I mean when I'm caught in between
And I'm afraid the real you is eluding me
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelin's
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart
Unafraid of the truth.
Even if I stood alone
I didn't know how it was gon' go
Even if the world was cold, I take a deep breath
And get it off my chest
And hope you will catch me when I fall
And love me best when I show you my all
Fill in the blanks if I'm not makin' sense
Oh be patient with me
Oooh
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
Had all the words to speak my feelin's
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks and followed my heart
Unafraid of the truth.
Even if I stood alone
I didn't know how it was gon' go
Even if the world was cold, I take a deep breath
And get it off my chest
And hope for the best
If I don't say anything, it's wrong
If I said it it wouldn't come out right..
