It's like I'm walking under ladders
All the mirrors about to break
Like a black cat walking next to me
That I can't seem to shake
It seems like only yesterday my life was going my way
This storm it just won't stop, raining on my parade
Time has turn its back on me, waiting for me to fade away
Into the gray
And I try to tell myself...
This is not where I belong
It's a temporary place that I've I been in for way to long
I'm not asking for the world
I'm just an ordinary girl, putting up a fight to get out this temporary life
(This temporary life)
It cant be like this forever
Someday it's going to change
But that someday's coming to slow and I don't want to wait
Life won't let me pretend
But I won't let this be the end of me
(No way, no way)
I might need somebody's shoulder
To catch the tears I cry
And even when there is no end in sight I know I will survive
It won't break me, It might take all of me
To get back were I want to be
And i gotta tell myself...
This is not where I belong
It's a temporary place that I've I been in for way to long
I'm not asking for the world
I'm just an ordinary girl, putting up a fight to get out this temporary life
Don't exactly know where I'm going
But any place is better then where I am
This is not a permanant situation
I am going back to were I began...
This is not where I belong
It's a temporary place that I've I been in for way to long
I'm not asking for the world
I'm just an ordinary girl, putting up a fight to get out this temporary life
This is not where I belong
It's a temporary place that I've I been in for way to long
I'm not asking for the world
I'm just an ordinary girl, putting up a fight to get out this temporary life
I'm just an ordinary girl, putting up a fight to get out this temporary life
This temporary life
