Frida Hyvönen - Dream Of Independence lyrics

Oh, it's my birthday again
Hip hip hooray, I'm fairly grown up now

I learned to keep my expectations low
And my standards high

I built my life around
A dream of independence
I built my life around
A dream of independence

But heaven knows I am a follower
Receptive and easily disturbed
You know I dodged a lot of bullets
Just by keeping my impulses curbed
Can I afford to let go now?
Flow like rivers do
Would you abuse my softness
If I showed it to you?

If I showed it to you if I showed it to you

Another year begins
Happy new year, I'm so much wiser now

I еven learned to takе a decent look
Before I dive in

I built my life around
A dream of independence
I built my life around
A dream of independence

But honey, honey, I'm such a follower
Receptive and easily led
If you think I look powerful
What you see is the power of restraint

It's not a room of one's own
It's a dam in the river
I'm exploiting my own nature
To make it in this world
Do you follow me, honey?
Do you follow me, babe?

Changing
I'm changing i'm changing i'm changing
