Lately I've learned to be patient
I don't always get what I want
And if I do it's just a bonus I'm not entitled to

Not gonna waste time with pity
Don't bother trying to find me
Cause I'll be gone when you get there

Hiding in shadows nearby
Too afraid to look you in the eye
Guess I'm scared you'll hurt me again


[Chorus]
Afraid of mistakes

How much can I take
For some reason you think I say stay
I do with an added away...[End of chorus]


Lately I've opened up to strangers
Getting used to the world

Needing someone to comfort me
When the wind throws a whirl
Someone tell me I don't deserve this

So I can stay down to earth
It's a relief, you and no me
Hide away inside myself


[Chorus]


All I ever wanted was acceptance
All I ever wanted was acceptance
All I ever wanted was acceptance

All I ever wanted was acceptance
