Privacy

I'm surrounded by the spotlight
And nothing is going right
You're just loving it
Watching me lose control
The world has taken its toll
That much I'll admit

I need some time away
Give me space for a day
And I'll be okay

I've asked you respectfully
Please take the cameras off of me
You're affecting my vibrancy
Let me keep my privacy
Why won't you let me be?
I know you're going to write what you didn't see
I'm allowed in society
Please respect my privacy

I can't say what's on my mind
I find myself in a bind
I need some space to breathe
I'm trapped in an iron cage
Filling up on bleeding rage
I know what I need

I need some time alone
So I don't feel like I'm in a cyclone
Fighting in a combat zone

I've asked you respectfully
Please take the cameras off of me
You're affecting my vibrancy
Let me keep my privacy
Why won't you let me be?
I know you're going to write what you didn't see
I'm allowed in society
Please respect my privacy
I can't sit by silently
When the lack of respect is killing me
I can see that you get it finally
Give me back my privacy

Do you have any idea of what it's like
To live a fish bowl kind of life
No I didn't think you did
Just once I wish
I wasn't the fish
So I could drop off the grid

I need some time alone
So I don't feel like I'm in a cyclone
Fighting in a combat zone

I've asked you respectfully
Please take the cameras off of me
You're affecting my vibrancy
Let me keep my privacy
Why won't you let me be?
I know you're going to write what you didn't see
I'm allowed in society
Please respect my privacy
I can't sit by silently
When the lack of respect is killing me
I can see that you get it finally
Give me back my privacy
