"Don't Let Me Change"

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
Tell me I can grow up
And age will forget that I'm old
You won't let me change
You don't let me change
The story is already told

As tears get mixed up with rain
Every time I mention I mention in vain
How do you expect to be free
When all your politics were written in
The lipstick that kissed me

You won't let me change
You don't let me change
Tell me I can grow up
And age will forget that I'm old
You won't let me change
You don't let me change
The story is already told

If the world keeps blowing
In storm around us all
All the words are frozen
As the rain turns into snow fall
So happy I was
To serve blindly on the tray
And honesty isn't poetry
Just a truthful way to complain
