I Don't Believe You [Lauren/You]

Chapter 10: Blackout

Your POV
I was getting ready to perform at the IHeartRadio music festival. I had written a new song to anger L.A. Reid. Now that my tour was coming close to an end with only ten more shows, I decided that this would be a great time to expose L.A. for abusing his power. Shay helped put everything together and she basically planned the whole thing out, it turns out I wasn't the only one getting tired of L.A. Reid. There were about ten people signed under Epic Records who filed complaints against him but of course L.A. didn't pay mind to them and punished them for complaining.

"Why are you so jittery, calm down." Shay put her hands on my shoulder and I shot her a small smile.

"I'm just a little nervous. We're finally standing up to L.A. This is it, it's now or never." I stood up from my stool and picked up my guitar. I felt a little light headed so I slowly walked on stage. I was greeted with clapping and cheering, I felt sweat drip down my face so I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand.

"Hey, my name's Y/N and I'm going to be singing a new song that I just wrote backstage." I tried to sound confident but if you listened closely, you could hear my voice quiver. I cleared my throat and closed my eyes. I heard the intro start so I took a deep breath and looked for Lauren in the audience. I locked eyes with her and noticed she had a fake mustache on, I giggled and felt a wave of relaxation hit me.

La da da da dee, you're not breaking me
La de da da da da da da da, yeah

Somebody told me fame is a disease
You start singing the blues when you start seeing the green
But I think it's all about what you choose
The way you live your life, depends on you
That's when I realized I wanna make a difference
Change other people's lives, give hope, even for a moment
Use my name for good and change the game I could
Because to make it you think I gotta act a certain way,
Be a little bit insane, live a little, it's okay
I guess we have different definitions of living, but you'll twist my words anyway
You'll say that I'm naïve, like I don't have a past,
You're the one being deceived, I see right behind the mask
Tryna to stir me up and get me mad
I smile because happiness is all I have, so

La da da da dee, you're not breaking me
La de da da da, ain't got time for ya, singing
La da da da dee, you won't shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile

You see me hanging with my fam, but that don't mean I'm living in a bubble
You'll find me at church, but that don't mean I can't cause trouble
Stir up a little scene 'cause isn't that what you want?
For me to mess up, so you can dress up some story
Saying, this'll sell more records
But I'd rather make 'em yawn than be a pawn on your chessboard
So call me boring, call me cookie cutter
Call me what you want
A matter of fact
Just say it loud and don't st-stutter
'Cause I know who I am, yeah I'm still the same
Just a girl with big dreams
Thinking maybe they'll let me sing songs about real things
And baby who knows maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes
God made me sexy I don't care if only I know

La da da da dee, you're not breaking me
La de da da da, ain't got time for ya, singing
La da da da dee, you won't shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile

Oh oh [2x]

And I'll just keep on singing.

La da da da dee, you're not breaking me
La de da da da, ain't got time for ya
La da da da dee, you won't shatter me
La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile
