Melancholy Melody

from Child of Tuesday by Just Plain Sarah

about

The first song I ever wrote (I was 13).

lyrics

We're fighting again
Will it pass or is it the end?
I won't apologize for doing what I want
When I've given all I've got
I'm sorry I can't make this sacrifice
When I want to do what feels right
It's too late so I won't even try
To cover the feelings I often hide

And I'm sorry you won't accept me
But I won't change who I am
And when the consequences start to feel heavy
At least I'll know who I am
At least I'll know who I am

If you let this rip us apart
Then we were never very strong from the start
Why can't you understand I'm not the same as you?
And I don't have to do what I don't want to
I know you think your opinion is more important than mine
But why do you always think that you can change my mind?

And I'm sorry you won't accept me
But I won't change who I am
And when the consequences start to feel heavy
At least I'll know who I am
At least I'll know who I am

It's all changing now and you can't stop it
It's falling apart and you can't ignore it
You can't stay sheltered from my feelings forever
You can't stare into the rain and pretend that there's good weather
I've given up maybe you should do the same
Look at our past, and then tell me who's really to blame

And I'm sorry you won't accept me
But I won't change who I am
And when the consequences start to feel heavy
At least I'll know who I am
At least I'll know who I am

Ignore me if you want
Don't see me if you like
Do it if keeps you satisfied
But always know, wherever you go--I stood strong

And I'm so sorry that you won't accept me
But I won't change who I am
And when the consequences start to feel heavy
At least I'll know who I am
And I'm so sorry that you won't accept me
But I won't change who I am
At least I'll know who I am
At least I'll know who I am
