Going out of my head

by Valiantpenguin   Oct 30, 2007


{And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Come in over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare - don't worry me
'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head}

They say it's so wrong
For us to love one another
But they just don't get
How much we feel for each other
They think its a stage
When I look at her i get all flushed
But they assume I'll grow out of it
{And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed}

Why can't they see the truth
How much i really love her
They can't pretend to accept
Whats already there
They want me to be just a good little girl
It's only the boys that I'm allowed to touch
Just can't be different or stand out
{They say it's my fault, but I want her so much}

I wish we could leave
Get away from their accusing eyes
Tell them where to go
And not have to hide
What we have is real
They can't see our pain
I want to get us away
{Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain}

I don't want to hide us
I want us to be free
To share our love
Be what we want to be
But their eyes all accuse
They all are the same
They don't want to accept
{Come in over my face, wash away all the shame}

When we walk hand in hand
They can't help but look
It's so out of place
We don't follow their book
They don't know
What true love means
So they think we can't know
{When they stop and stare - don't worry me}

We know what we have
We know it's all real
They can never understand
Just what we feel
We're just young and don't know
True love just can't be
Will the ever listen
{'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me}

They want us to move on
Go for the guys
But they don't want us to have secrets
They don't want any lies
It's hard to trust in anyone
The only ones in are the ones we let
They look away as if it's all OK
{I can try to pretend, I can try to forget}

They almost accept
Almost happy with it
They don't complain as much
Just a little bit
But I can feel their gaze
Like a piece of lead
They don't approve
{But it's driving me mad, going out of my head}
