[Verse 1]

Love was another way to say that I’ll carry you

Whatever you wanna do, turn me left or turn me right

Only daring to speak up in order to safely regurgitate opinions I heard

Mentality turned on me now I can barely remember my name

[Chorus]

I hope you don’t mind

I’m taking it another direction, yeah

Another direction, yeah

I’ve been taking my time

Now I’m taking control

Can I be me again?

[Verse 2]

I’ve been the poster child, yeah, for waiting on a change

Yeah I paid more attention to what was mentioned about me

Than what I said up in my head

Time to be on my own side even if you

Think I am going insane

[Chorus 2]

I hope you don’t mind

I’m taking control of the skin I’m swimming in

I’ve been taking my time

Now I’m taking control

Can I be me again?

I hope you don’t mind

I’m taking control of the skin I’m swimming in

I hope you don’t mind

I’m taking it another direction, yeah

Another direction, yeah

I’ve been taking my time

Now I’m taking control

Can I be me again?
