Lyrics for Evangeline

Don't settle for letting someone else define you Know who you are at every age What impression am I making? I see me as other people see me There is no going back I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now I had to fantasize I was a princess, Mum and Dad were Queen and King I ought to have what feeling? I see me as other people see me There is no going back I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now Feeling now There is no going back, and I can't stop feeling now I am not the same, I'm growing up again I am not the same I'm growing up again There's no going back I can't stop feeling now I had to fantasize Just to survive I was a famous artist Everybody took me seriously Even those who did Never understood me I had to fantasize Just to survive
