Quietly I sit in the corner of my room
Hoping no one notices, praying no one cares
Let me be, give me some space, a little time all alone
By myself
Set me free, keep me safe in a place all alone by myself
Phones ringing, e-mail waiting, people wanting
Anticipating the next thing that needs to get done
Can't I just, close my eyes and wish to be in a place
Of my own
What part of no don't you get
What part of yes am I gonna regret
You know your needs have been met
So what part of no don't you get
What piece of me was in that bet
What did you trade for my blood and my sweat
My days with you aren't numbered yet
Still, what part of no don't you get
Someday I'll leave and be free of this
Free to go where I want, talk to whom I want
That day just won't come soon enough
When the mirror won't just look back and laugh
First steps, baby steps, start to tell the tale
Hoping someone notices, praying someone cares
Set me free, keep me safe in a place all alone by myself
Let me be, give me some space, a little time
all alone by myself
What part of no don't you get...
There's some part of me you'll never get...
