Lyrics[]
I lived my life like a masochist
Hearing my father say: "Told you so, told you so.
Why can't you be like the other girls?"
I said: "Oh no, that's not me and I don't think that it'll ever be."
Thought I belong to a different tribe
Walking alone never satisfied, satisfied
Tried to fit in but it wasn't me,
I said: "Oh no, I want more. That's not what I'm looking for."
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love - I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth of my rebel heart
I've spent some time as a narcissist
Hearing the other say: "Look at you, look at you
Trying to be so provocative."
I said: "Oh yeah, that was me.
All the things I did just to be seen."
Outgrown my past and I've shed my skin
Letting it go and I'll start again, start again
Never look back, it's a waste of time
I said: "Oh yeah, this is me
And I'm right here where I wanna be."
I said: "Hell yeah! This is me
Right where I'm supposed to be"
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love - I knew it from the start
Deep down in my rebel heart
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love - I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth of my rebel heart
In my rebel heart
In my rebel heart
