acting up, or acting out
another step towards your doubt
if change is coming, we'd better keep the windows open
i want to be loud, i want to shout
i miss that house beside the park
and climbing stairways in the dark
you closed the door, you closed your mouth
i miss your skin, we missed the mark
stepping out, now stepping up
i've hurt my pride, i've heard enough
'cause i always talk a bigger game than i can play
and hope to G-d this goes away
so put a brave face on it
a lesser woman would have quit a long ways back
but finally freedom has been rung
now i'm singing songs i've never sung,
before
draw these lines upon your heart
hoping to end up somewhere nearer to the start
i always thought that i'd be brave
not fall in love, and fall apart
