Acting Out

1. Up above the surface I was just a perfect child
But underneath it all I was craving to be wild
Don't you judge by the cover
It's so far from what you see
I'm losing all my patience
Waiting on you to believe
I'm suffocating, I can't breathe.

[Chorus:]
Let me out this cage
I'm not gonna hold back
Gonna break these chains
I'm taking control
Not gonna give you something to talk about
It's another side of me, I'm acting out.

Set me free
I'm ready to show you
This is what I need
It's time to get dirty
I'm a show you what I'm talking about
It's another side of me, I'm acting out.

2. Welcome to a new beginning
It's time to start the show
No, I don't think it matters
If it's real or just a roll.

Once you get a taste of it
You'll be begging me for more
I'll give you something to remember
Once I've hit the floor
I'm letting go, of what you know.

[Bridge:]
I've been waiting just to drive you crazy
Now it's my time and yes it feels amazing
There's nothing left of what you've seen before
Life is short just to do what you're told
(Just to do what you're told, just to do what you're told)
Do what you're told
(Just to do what you're told)
Do what you're,
Do what you're told.

[Coda:]
Life is short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
Life is short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
Life is short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm acting out.
