1.	Don't Want to Be 02:43	lyrics
I don’t want to be cruel But I feel so helpless Don’t want to be impulsive, but I can’t help myself Spend all your time waiting To learn how to be selfless Missing the signs I want to be smart I want to make art I want to prove I want to move I don’t want to be cruel But I feel so helpless Don’t want to be impulsive, but I can’t help myself Spend all your time waiting To learn how to be selfless Missing the signs I’m scared to be wrong And I don’t want to be rude Don’t want to make mistakes And I don’t want to lose So it’s hard just to sit there And its hard just to know If you’re doing it right It’s my life You can make a promise-- Or you can choose to be honest I don’t want to be cruel But I feel so helpless Don’t want to be impulsive, but I can’t help myself Spend all your time waiting To learn how to be selfless Missing the signs I don’t want to be scared of losing And I don’t want to be tired of proving I don’t want to be, don’t want to be a “don’t want to be” kind of girl It’s my life You can make a promise-- Or you can choose to be honest
