Permission

I will not hide from you
 I will not ask for your permission again
 I will not beg from you
 And if you're gone
 It's all right
 Woke up dancing still from yesterday
 Trying to dream the world away
 You wear the dress he likes
 And you know you never liked it anyway
 He says he likes to see you smiling
 He says it makes you beautiful
 But tonight there is no reason
 To him you're just a little girl
 I will not hide from you
 I will not ask for your permission again
 I will not beg from you
 And if you're gone
 It's all right
 Woke up lying still from yesterday
 And you can't read his eyes
 There's no meaning to it anymore
 Just a set of rules and practices you despise
 There's a time to use the telephone
 But only on certain days
 You put it down tonight
 Find your way out through the haze
