I lived my life like a masochist
Hearing my father say “Told you so, told you so”
“Why can’t you be like the other girls?”
I said “Oh no, that’s not me”
“And I don’t think that it’ll ever be”
Thought I’d belong to a different tribe
Walking alone never satisfied, satisfied
Tried to fit in but it wasn’t me
I said “Oh no, I want more”
“That’s not what I’m looking for”
(refrein:)
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depths of my rebel heart
I’ve spent some time as a narcissist
Hearing the others say “Look at you, look at you”
“Trying to be so provocative”
I said “Oh yeah, that was me”
“All of the things I did just to be seen”
I outgrew my past and I’ve shed my skin
Letting it go and I’ll start again, start again
Never look back, it’s a waste of time
I said “Oh yeah, this is me”
“And I’m right here where I wanna be”
I said “Hell yeah, this is me”
“Right where I’m supposed to be”
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in my rebel heart
(refrein)
(My rebel heart)
In my rebel heart
