Jessica Mauboy – Whitney Lyrics

Whitney Lyrics

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 denied it
I wrote it down on every fight
If it made me laugh
If it made me cry
When that’d knock me down, she would pick me up

So I sing it for Britney
Oh, how I wish she could see me, baby
Drivin’ my mother crazy

Fill me up with this feelin’
Oh, I didn’t know I could miss it
When everyone’s around
Fill me up with this feelin’
You’re gonna grow up and miss this
When everyone’s around
Why is everyone so loud?
To think that I would find
It doesn’t seem like home
No, I’m alone

Underneath all the stickers is my life, mm-hm
I was painting these pictures since I was nine
Yeah, writin’ down all my secrets
I didn’t know how to keep it, yeah
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 feelin’
Oh, I didn’t know I could miss it
When everyone’s around
Fill me up with this feelin’
You’re gonna grow up and miss this
When everyone’s around
Why is everyone so loud?
To think that I would find
It doesn’t feel like home

I remember holdin’ back, yeah
I knew then I’ll write it down
On every line, on every page
What you say will stay

Fill me up with this feelin’
I didn’t know I could miss it, mm
Fill me up with this feelin’
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 to make you smile
Now nobody’s around
Now no one is too loud
Didn’t think that I would find
It doesn’t feel like home
When I’m alone
