Shades Of Grey

I was living in a war zone, felt so battered and confused
Didn't wish to be that way, feeling so mentally bruised
I just needed to be strong, hiding wounds I never showed
Many stories I have lived, I won't live anymore
It took courage, so much courage for me to have the open mind
That allowed me to recapture all the innocent ones' minds
Once wrapped inside a bubble, that to me was my whole world
I recall her saying now, I'm not that chained up little girl

Feeling so free, just for me to be me
I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be
I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be
Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me

Please I let my conscience win, it got me out the life I live
I'm so proud to be myself, never to be someone else
There was chaos in my head, thinking of words I should have said
I was sleeping with an enemy, waking on a burning bed
I find it easier to breathe, though I know it's been a while
Won't let the season change my image, the image of my smile
Won't let no one resue me as they did so long ago
I look so many shades of grey, a color that now glows

Feeling so free, just for me to be me
I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be
I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be
Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me
If you want to stay from me

Feeling so free, just for me to be me
I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be
I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be
Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me
Feeling so free, just for me to be me
I can show any emotion, yet move to change and be
I can be the one you see, right beside you I can be
Cross no lines of disrespect, if you want to stay from me
If you want to stay from me
