I'd Rather Be A Boy

I woke up one day, turned 18
And life went on
You told me I need to grow up
But so much time is gone
"You have your whole life in front of you"
You once said to me
It's sad you're now rushing your life
It's sad that you can't see

If it takes a man to use you
And treat you like a toy
For you to think he loves you
Then I'd rather be a boy
And maybe one day you'll wake up
Look around and see
Just what a mess you've made of life
Without me

I may be young
But I still have time to learn
I have time to be myself
To do the things you spurn
You think you know who you are
But I know you don't have a clue
The only thing more certain than the boy in me
Is the insecurity in you

It's ok
It's fine
Just leave me here alone
There's no such thing
As second chances
Just leave me here alone
