Universal Codes

I want what I can't have
But who says I can't have? 
Who determines these rules? 
Who determines these fools? 
 
I love when I shouldn't care
But when am I supposed to care?
Why are there restrictions? 
Why set terms and conditions? 
 
I move when I should be still
I talk when I should hold my tongue 
I laugh when my heart should ache 
I give when I should walk away 
 
There is no right, there is no wrong
No requirements needed to belong 
 
I don't believe in your universal codes
I'll love when I feel and do when I know
