All along, all along I knew that this was right for me.
I knew that it was right for me to turn my back and run.
And you could say, you could say I was afraid of everything.

I was afraid of anything that would tell me I was wrong.
And you can only close your eyes so much.
And you can only listen for so long.

It's true that only you decide the things you do
So dont be afraid to tell them you dont give a...
Phony smile, a phony smile to all your friends.

But meanwhile in your head you're thinking they are wrong.
'Cause they don't know, that what their parents said was never written in
stone.

That it's ok to walk away and grow into their own.
And you can only close your eyes so much.
And you can only listen for so long.

It's true that only you decide the things you do
So don't be afraid to tell them you don't give a $#&@.

So don't be afraid, so don't be afraid.
And you can only close your eyes so much.
And you can only listen for so long.

It's true that only you decide the things you do.
So don't be afraid to tell them you won't give a
Don't be afraid to tell them you won't give a

Don't be afraid to tell them you won't give a damn.
