[Intro]
I made my way
I made my promise
To make my name
And not turn back.
I wrote it all down
Read it out loud
Said all my prayers
Tried to be proud
So I signed it in black
[Chorus]
Tear out the page
Let my new taker
Smooth out the sheet
Tossed in the trash
That's not enough
So burn the paper
Down to ash
[Verse 1]
I'm not one of those who likes to go losing her head.
I would rather stay at home with a good book instead.
I'm not a madam or a maiden. I cut the strings from my apron.
I cook my breakfast for myself.
Mister, please don't be mistaken.
There are some lines in golden letters
That touched my heart; I let them touch.
My head was turned through several verses
As I forgot some sound advice.
I made my way
I made my promise
To make my name
And not turn back.
I wrote it all down
Read it out loud
Said all my prayers
Tried to be proud
So I signed it in black
[Chorus]
Tear out the page
Let my new taker
Smooth out the sheet
Tossed in the trash
That's not enough
So burn the paper
Down to ash
[Verse 1]
I'm not one of those who likes to go losing her head.
I would rather stay at home with a good book instead.
I'm not a madam or a maiden. I cut the strings from my apron.
I cook my breakfast for myself.
Mister, please don't be mistaken.
There are some lines in golden letters
That touched my heart; I let them touch.
My head was turned through several verses
As I forgot some sound advice.
