[Verse 1]
Amelia, it's May and blossoms 1957
Single but bold
I see you, belle of the ball and
Hometown sweetheart, gifted
I want to tell you seize this day
Let someone else go tend tradition
Take what's yours
No one else can tell your fire
Paint with your words
Sing with your voice
Take what's yours
[Verse 2]
Amelia, I see you all in white and lovely
Blinded by love
And he too, is beautiful, and young
And blind
I want to tell you he's the wrong man
You'll look back
You were told that this is what you want
But it will hurt you
(You can't live for someone else)
But you live
[Chorus]
For me
For me
For me
For me
[Verse 3]
He would do things to make your life easier
But never talk to you
Know you at all
You were his showpiece
Charming as you entertained all his fancies
I wish I could have seized that day and
Torn it from your history
(For me)
Now it comes down to a life
That might have soared
(For me)
But I can tell your fire
Paint your words and
Sing with your voice
Nobody can take what's mine
[Chorus]
From me
From me
From me
From me
