Time Will Tell - Intellectual

[Intro]

I can't sleep, I'm too tired for this

I don't wanna be broken in

And whipped and trained to spend my days

In a place I hate for a measly wage

It's just too much pain to work today

I'll try to keep sane until I get paid

So I can feed myself another day

It's just not my way

I can't live this way

It's just not my way

I can't live this way

I met a guy who says I'm pretty, I could be a model

If I tried

But when we got to talkin' about tops and bottoms

He lied, he lied

Just please give me something to stop this ache

Just please give me something to fill this lake

Just please give me something my heart can take

Just please give me something fake

Maybe when I grow up, I can paint it on my face

Another name that I despise, one to take my place

Then I'll be complete, and I won't have to worry anymore

And I know I'm not the first to be so selfishly adored

I told him that I just can't say those words

"You're mine, you're mine"

But if we were to go our separate ways today

I'd cry, I'd cry

Just please let me know why I feel this way

Just please make me feel confident today

Just please understand that I cannot stay

Just please make it go away

Maybe when I grow up, I can be a better friend

I'll learn a lesson I'll despise, one to clear my head

When I turn to see, all of my worries will be gone

And I'll finally get some sense, because I'll know that I was wrong

Maybe when I grow up, I'll see you standin' there

Another place that I despise near all my fallen hair

When I go to sleep, you won't have to worry again

'Cause you'll know that I've done well, or I've convinced myself I did
