I used to keep a journal every night
I would try to hide it out of sight
My sister tried to find it
And even though she denies it
I wrote it down, oh, every fight
If it made me mad
If it made me cry
When they knocked me down
She would pick me up
So sing I it for Britney
Oh, how I wish you could see me, baby
Drivin' my mother crazy
Fill me up with this feeling
Oh, I didn't know I could miss it
When everyone's around
Fill me up with this feeling
You're gonna grow up and miss this
When everyone's around
Why is everyone so loud?
Didn't think that I would find
It doesn't feel like home
No, I'm alone
Underneath all the stickers is my life
I was painting these pictures since I was nine, yeah
Writing down all my secrets
Well, I didn't know how to keep it yet
I don't want to forget what it was like
'Cause one day I'll laugh
And then I'll cry
I will have these words
They'll make sense in time, oh
Now I sing it for Whitney
Oh, how I wish she could see me
Drivin' my mother crazy
Fill me up with this feeling
Oh, I didn't know I could miss it
When everyone's around
Fill me up with this feeling
You're gonna grow up and miss this
When everyone's around
Why is everyone so loud?
Didn't think that I would find
It doesn't feel like home
I remember holding back
If I knew then I'd write it down
On every line, on every page
What you say will stay
Fill me up with this feeling
I didn't know I could miss it
Fill me up with this feeling
You're gonna grow up and miss this
When everyone's around
Why is everyone so loud?
Didn't think that I would find
All the ways you made you smile
And now nobody's around
And now no one is too loud
Didn't think that I would find
It doesn't feel like home
When I'm alone
