I give up on myself sometimes
And I think I'm good for nothing at all, and I say,
"Us dreamers are like wishing dimes
Or like fishes scattered in the deep blue sea," but today,
I have a sense of who I am
And I don't give a damn if you walk away from the deal
I'd rather be a high-class act
Until someone says that they're counting me in it for real
'Cause I don't care if anybody's waiting for me at the other side, no
And I don't care if the money's in it for me if I sacrifice my pride
So get gone with the wind
If my self-esteem is not enough to break me in
Give it up, take a hint
If you walk away, you say I lose, I say I win
So get gone, so get gone
Get gone, get gone, whoa
Get gone, get gone, whoa
So get gone
Wonderland became a battlefield
When they put me in a desk, put a textbook in my hand
Got some wounds that I know will heal
As I keep on walking, dragging my feet through the sand
I don't know where I'm going yet
But it doesn't mean that I can't feel the beat of my heart
I'll take it with me where I go
And I'm hoping it's to the place that I've loved from the start
'Cause I don't care if anybody's waiting for me at the other side, no
And I don't care if the money's in it for me if I sacrifice my pride
So get gone with the wind
If my self-esteem is not enough to break me in
Give it up, take a hint
Iff you walk away, you say I lose, I say I win
So get gone. So get gone
