Facing West
Anything but Free
[Verse 1]
She’s a pretty typical teenage drama queen
At least that's what they see
Brand new shiny cars and boys on her arm
What else could she really need
But she knows the world is bigger than it seems
[Chorus]
Now she wakes up every morning
Reminded of what she's supposed to be
The perfect little Barbie doll a princess growing up to be a queen
Maybe life ain't everything she thought it would be
Said she could be anything
Anything but free
[Verse 2]
She walks down crowded halls tries to carry the weight of it all Surrounded but still alone somehow
But she's got a rep to keep so instead of falling to her knees
She'll look you in the eye and act like nothing's wrong
The perfect life ain't what it seems
[Chorus]
Now she wakes up every morning
Reminded of what she's supposed to be
The perfect little Barbie doll a princess growing up to be a queen
Maybe life ain't everything she thought it would be
Said she could be anything
Anything but free
[Bridge]
She's tired of the weight on her shoulders
She's over the mask she put on
She's done playing pretty for the camera
Her chains are coming off
[Outro]
Now she wakes up every morning
With a hope that shines brighter than the sun
Dreaming of what she could be what she could become
Making life anything she wants it to be
Now she could anything
She's absolutely free
Absolutely free
