Lyrics On Fire - Shayla Hamady

I wanna say it but I just cant get the words out
The whole worlds watching now I gotta talk loud
I open up my heart's screaming but there's no sound
I gotta know when I'm out of here I have no doubts
I'm so angry the only one who can save me is me
I'm so mad but the only thing that I want is to be what I know I can be
Are you listening
I need to give it my all before the time is out
Seems like the harder I'm trying the more that I fall out
I hear the people who tell me that I am good enough
Just know you're keeping me going even when things get rough

But I want to
But I want to
I can't do this on my own
But I want to
But I want to

They tell me just go ahead go on and laugh it off
Cause when the rain is falling it's like I feel it all
But I still go in public they tell me stand tall
That's what I do and I'm 5 foot 6
Can't even look you in the eye less than one thousand hits
I'm not the only one whose hope can never learn to stick
But it's alright mamma cause my skin is thick
And now a week goes by and I'm picking it up
I get the feeling that it's finally something they will love
And I keep dreaming that a force can push me from above
But I keep my eyes open in case I'm pulled from the rug

I can't do this on my own
But I want to
I'm on fire
I can't do this on my own
But I want to
But I want to

Well the worlds on fire and it's gonna burn the house now
But keep on reading the paper and turn our voice down
You tell us that we're weak we'll never know how
And little was just plenty
But the economies steady
Back packs were always heavy
You kids made this world messy
War we were always ready
You think you can have peace
Not in this damn heat
But can you please just listen this thing we cannot cheat

I can't do this on my own
But I want to
But I want to
I'm on fire
