Don’t Tell Me Lyrics by ​glimmers

Cluttered Heart - EP

2020

[verse]
You faded away I was torn at the seams
A bundle of nerves and a bubble of dreams
Figuring out who I was
My songs are about you, didn’t you know
I held my head high so my heart wouldn’t show
All the broken parts I hid in the dark You faded away I was torn at the seams
A bundle of nerves and a bubble of dreams
Figuring out who I was
My songs are about you, didn’t you know
I held my head high so my heart wouldn’t show
All the broken parts I hid in the dark of your room
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me who to be
I was young and naive, just past 17
I’ve thought about us and I really believe
I’m done with being anyone else but me
[verse]
I focused on you as you called my name
Nobody else could’ve said it the same
But starting today, you can’t say it anymore
You were right, all this time passed me by and I’ve totally changed
I’ve stopped tossing and turning but rearranged
My Cluttered heart and the damage you’ve done
I took a moment of silence in the game that I’ve won
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me who to be
I was young and naive, just past 17
I’ve thought about us and I really believe
I’m done with being anyone else but me
It’s over now
Your times run out
Save your texts, save more excuses
I heard you just fine but you don’t hear yourself
You tore me apart but I picked up the pieces
A better me, a better way out
[Chorus]
Don’t tell me who to be
I was young and naive, just past 17
I’ve thought about us and I really believe
I’m done with being anyone else
Don’t tell me who to be
I am strong and I’m ready to chase all my dreams
I hope that you’re out there and see what I mean
I’m done with being anyone else but me
