Don't Want to Be

from Motivation by Ariel Strasser

/

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
