No Apology

(album: The Peel Me Sessions 2003 - 2009)

An ordinary girl looked me in the eye
Look and you will see them laughing as I cry
Part of me is hope
Part of me is fear
I will not surrender
I am standing here

I crave normality
Why won't it happen?
it's just not meant to be

So take me as I am
Take every part of me
For all that I've become
For all that I could be
Don't you know me by now?
Do you like what you see?
I'm walking through this world with no apology

No ordinary life
A different kind of girl
You know a grain of sand
Can turn in to a pearl
I dance beneath the moon
Barefoot in the snow
No footprints to be seen
Other than my own

I crave normality
Why won't it happen?
it's just not meant to be

So take me as I am
Take every part of me
For all that I've become
For all that I could be
Don't you know me by now?
Do you like what you see?
I'm walking through this world with no apology

Here's to the waters of the bridges we've burned
For all we've lost and all that we've learned
For all the music and the madness we've made
This is why

Here's to the courage when we need to be brave
for walking out when its so easy to stay
for never feeling you have to explain
this is why

I crave normality
Why won't it happen?
it's just not meant to be

So take me as I am
Take every part of me
For all that I've become
For all that I could be
Don't you know me by now?
Do you like what you see?
I'm walking through this world with no apology

For all that I could be
Don't you know me by now?
Do you like what you see?
I'm walking through this world with no apology
