Acting Out

1. Up above the surface I was just a perfect child

But underneath it all I was craving to be wild

Don't you judge by the cover, it's so far from what you see

I'm losing all my patience waiting on you to believe

I'm suffocating... I can't breathe

Em

R: Let me out this cage, I'm not gonna hold back

Bm

Ima break these chains, I'm taking control now

Gonna give you something to talk about

It's another side of me, I'm acting out

Em

Set me free, I'm ready to show you

Bm

This is what I need, it's time to get dirty

Ima show you what I'm talking about

It's another side of me, I'm acting out

2. Welcome to a new beginning, it's time to start the show

No I don't think it matters if it's real or just a role

Once you get a taste of it you'll be begging me for more

I'll give you something to remember once I hit the floor

I'm letting go... of what you know

R: Let me out this cage...

*: I've been waiting just to drive you crazy

Now it's my time and yes, it feels amazing

There's nothing left of what you've seen before

Life's too short just to do what you're told

Em

Just to do what you're told

Just to do what you're told (Do what you're told)

Just to do what you're told

Do what, do what you're told

R: Let me out this cage...

Em

Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)

Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)

Life's too short just to do what you're told (I'm acting out)

Yeah, yeah, I'm acting out
