Lirieke: Secondhand Serenade. Nightmares.

Trying to make sense of this life
Ideas swirling in my head
Im more creative when I try not to be
So I listen to myself instead

Ive given it some thought
So glad the past is gone
Seems like my moments come
And I like that a lot
Dont rain on my parade
See Im here to stay
The life Ive led so far
Ive done a damn good job

Dont tell me what I can and cannot do
Not while the night is young
My life is free and not owned by you
Not while the night is young
Dont waste my time to be what people adore
Not while the night is young
Say what you will I dont care anymore
Not while the night is young

I know I know
Im all out of order
Forgive if I speak my mind
Ive had it to here with boring conversation
Soon time will pass me by

Ive given it some thought
So glad the past is gone
Seems like my moments come
And I like that a lot
Dont rain on my parade
See Im here to stay
The life Ive led so far
Ive done a damn good job

Dont tell me what I can and cannot do
Not while the night is young
My life is free and not owned by you
Not while the night is young
Dont waste my time to be what people adore
Not while the night is young
Say what you will I dont care anymore
Not while the night is young

Im so tired of trying to be what you want
Knowing I will never succeed
Going forward
Ill be just fine
If you let me be who I want to be
The first thing I think when I hear your words
Is dont listen cause you only live once
Im on a roll
Fate dont stop me now
Not while the night is young

The night is young
The night is young
Ohhhhhhhh

Dont tell me what I can and cannot do
Not while the night is young
My life is free and not owned by you
Not while the night is young
Dont waste my time to be what people adore
Not while the night is young
Say what you will I dont care anymore
Not while the night is young
