These feelings inside of me, I keep them bottled up
I choose not to tell them so nobody's blowing up
Lately I've been rattled, things are shaking up
I'm gonna explode because the troubles build the pressure up
But it's hard for me to open up
Yes, it's so hard for me to open up
I'm gonna start dreaming my own dreams again Don't have to look inside a soda can
I'm gonna sing it out as loud as I can
I'm not a genie in a bottle
I've been pushing my heart away, afraid of speaking out
Everything has been pulling me deeper down
I've been planning my whole life to get the hell out of this town
But the first step is to break this bottle and stop hiding out
But it's hard for me to open up
You've shown me how beautiful it can be to open up
I'm gonna start dreaming my own dreams again Don't have to look inside a soda can
I'm gonna sing it out as loud as I can
I'm not a genie in a bottle
All my own wishes, they're gonna be granted
I'm not gonna let you take me for granted
All my own wishes, they're gonna be granted
I won't let anybody take me for granted
I'm not a genie in a bottle anymore
I'm not a genie in a bottle
I'll take all of my broken pieces off the floor
I'm not a genie in a bottle
I'm not a genie in a bottle
