[Verse 1]
I feel them looking down on me
Or am I paranoid?
No where to hide, no room to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m like a flower in the shade
I’m like a bird in a cage
[Chorus]
I want a real life
I just wanna feel life
Gettin’ tired of livin’ in a bubble
Wanna get in trouble
Gotta be my own self
I can’t be nobody else
And if I can only make one wish
I just wanna live a real life
A real life
[Verse 2]
Inside your castle in the sky
I’m just a prisoner
Sometimes I wish I could kiss it all goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to please you
But don’t I matter to?
[Chorus]
I want a real life
I just wanna feel life
Gettin’ tired of livin’ in a bubble
Wanna get in trouble
Gotta be my own self
I can’t be nobody else
And if I can only make one wish
I just wanna live a real life
A real life
[Bridge]
I’m just a simple girl
In a complicated world
I’m giving it my best
But I'm in over my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m like a flower in the shade
I’m like a bird in a cage
[Chorus]
I want a real life
I just wanna feel life
Gettin’ tired of livin’ in a bubble
Wanna get in trouble
Gotta be my own self
I can’t be nobody else
And if I can only make one wish
I want a real life
I just wanna feel life
Gettin’ tired of livin’ in a bubble
Wanna get in trouble
Gotta be my own self
I can’t be nobody else
And if I can only make one wish
I just wanna live a real life
A real life
A real life
