what's gonna become of me?

I keep waiting for it to happen

and I don't even know what it is

I've been waiting all my life

I don't know if I'm winning

or if I've even taken the quiz

I don't know what is wrong or right

I was born in the state of confusion

now I'm running towards any light

that I may see

what's gonna become of me?

I search the night time

to see if my spirit's alive

every cranny and nook

I do my very best

to see if I can even survive

I'm going to take a second look

I was born with both eyes open

Lord knows I could write a book

of my history

what's gonna become of me?

tell me I'm wrong (rewrite 1)

I don't believe in love

I don't think it really exists

it's only a word to remind me

of everything I've missed

another way to tell me

that I don't belong

do me a favor

tell me I'm wrong

          tell me I'm wrong

          inform me of my worth

          tell me I'm wrong

          that I belong here on this earth

I never view the bright side

darkness is all I see

an endless night of worry

is always inside me

why do I feel so weak

when I need to be strong

give me a reason

tell me I'm wrong

          tell me I'm wrong

          give me some advice today

          tell me I'm wrong

          maybe these blues will go away

I don't believe in love

it's been taken away from me

I know it's in the shadows

but it's too dark to see

help me feel something

I should have felt all along

I don't want to be right

tell me I'm wrong

tell me I'm wrong

tell me I'm wrong

why'd you have to go away

I wish I had kept your message on the machine

I need to hear your voice every now and then

it's too lonesome here living without you

still, I'm glad you used to be my friend

I miss you now that you're no longer here

I wasn't ready for you to leave

but time goes on and people say goodbye

now it's my turn to grieve

          why'd you have to leave this earth

          I think about you every day

          now I'm crying for all it's worth

          why'd you have to go away

you might want to know

I thought I had a chance

maybe I still do

maybe I could dance

with the likes of you

we could be romantic

dance all close and slow

I just might be someone

you might want to know

          you might want to know

          the fool I am

          stuck inside a traffic jam

          you might want to know

          if it's true

          that I am stone in love with you

          uh-huh-huh

set you free

all the joy inside of me

has never found a home

I look around at all I see

my path is still unknown

I long for your loving

though it's not meant to be

I'm doing this for my own sake

I will set you free

there is not a future

for me without you here

all my plans and dreams

have gone and disappeared

leaving me with nothing

positive to see

so I am running from you

I will set you free

          go and do what you want to

          I won't be around

          after what my heart's been through

          I want to be safe and sound

you set a spark inside me

that hurt me to the bone

maybe the best way for me

is to spend my life alone

I am not the one you want

I'm sure you'd agree

you don't need me anymore

I will set you free

tell me I'm wrong (new version)

I don't believe in love

I don't think it really exists

it's only a word to remind me

of all the joy I've missed

another way to tell me

that I don't belong

do me a favor

tell me I'm wrong

I never view the bright side

darkness is all I see

an endless night of worry

is always inside me

I always feel weak

when I must be strong

give me a reason

tell me I'm wrong

          tell me I'm wrong

          inform me of my worth

          tell me I'm wrong

          my home is on this earth

let me feel some love

deep down in my soul

show me there's a better way

to learn to lose control

help me know inside my heart

there lives a sacred song

l need to find some hope 

tell me I'm wrong

          tell me I'm wrong

          give me some advice today

          tell me I'm wrong

          maybe these blues will go away

I don't believe in love

it's been taken away from me

I know it's in the shadows

but it's too dark to see

help me to feel something

I should have felt all along

I need to hear this from you

tell me I'm wrong

tell me I'm wrong

some things never last

take off your headphones

and listen to me

you may not like it

and you may not agree

I'm declaring my own independence

you've been bossing me around

for far too long

but now I'm back

where I belong

for you I am no longer in attendance

it's been a long, long time

since you demanded you were mine

now I'm free and feeling fine

and you are in the past

some things never last
