Mackenzie Johnson - What I Want Lyrics

Ever since I was a little kid I knew what I wanted
But I was a bit shy so I never ever flaunted
Haunted me all my life like a ghost in the night
But I wasn't afraid to leave the closet open wide

And growing up gets a little tough when
The kids are all mean and they're leaving you out
And they're saying that you're not enough
But you're gonna get through this
See what the truth is
The cool kids from the past are gonna be biting their tongues

Oh yes, I know I'm young but I
Know things won't come if I don't try
Time really isn't on my side
What's gonna happen tomorrow?

But right now I'm breathing, I'm alive
I'd rather seize it all & thrive
Than reach the day I die
Wish I'd have done it before cause

Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it
Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it

Now I'm looking to the future
Learning from the past &
The present is a present but it isn't meant to last
In the fast lane with the fast pass
Screaming my name
Don't forget it you're gonna regret it
'Cause you letting me go, a damn

Shame on you, you didn't believe it before
Claim that you could read all the signs on the door
Fame was something that was inevitable
I bet you wish you could touch me now

But I'm high up in a sky with a thousand stars
Lies were being told & creating scars
And I know why cause all the hurt has taken me far
The haters & the naysayers
Are gonna be wishing they'd swung

Oh yes, I know I'm young but I've
Learned that it's worth it when you try
'Cause you've gotta fall a thousand times
Before you die you gotta live through the sorrow

See the forest for the trees
And be able to find
The reason for the letters & the words that never rhyme
'Cause when it is your time, you're gonna wish you'd have done it before

Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it
Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it

Starting over now
Starting over now
Before it's over now
Over now, now now

Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it
Life is short, life is short
So I'm gonna do what I want
I'm gonna do what I want with it
