"Part Of Me"Days like this I want to drive awayPack my bags and watch your shadow fadeYou chewed me up and spit me outLike I was poison in your mouthYou took my light, you drained me downBut that was then and this is nowNow look at me
Now look at me I’m sparklingA firework, a dancing flameYou won't ever put me out againI’m glowin’, oh whoaSo you can keep the diamond ringI never liked it anywayIn fact you can keep everything yeah, yeahExcept for me
