These shallow thoughts are flowing quickly to an end from your mouth
But did you know that you're drowning my dreams in you doubt?
TAKE TIME!
To see what you are
And what you're doing to me
Does shutting me down, pushing me out
Make you feel free?
YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER STONE IN MY WAY
BUT YOU WILL BECOME A BRICK THAT I LAY
PLACING THE PATH IN FRONT OF ME
TO REACH THE GOALS THAT I SEEK
Trace back the lines we've drawn
And picture what this life could be
If I could find a way to turn back time
I won't change; you can't change me;
Why would you even try?!
Take your words and walk away
'Cause I can't stand to hear you say
Everything that you think I will never be
It feels like everytime I speak
You turn my words around on me
So I'm treading carefully
Always afraid to breathe!
LEAVE ME BE AND LET ME REACH
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE
I COULD EVER HOLD IN MY HANDS
HOW COULD YOU EVER HOPE TO UNDER STAND?!
(Trace back the lines we've drawn
And picture what this life could be)
If I could find a way to turn back time
I won't change; you can't change me;
Why would you even try?!
Take your words and walk away
'Cause I can't stand to hear you say
Everything that you think I will never be
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT I'VE MADE TOO MANY MISTAKES
TO EVER REDEEM MYSELF
BUT IF I SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE TRYING TO FIX THE PAST THEN I MIGHT AS WELL
GIVE UP HOPE OF HAPPINESS AND THE WILL TO GO ON
I'D RATHER FIND FULLFILMENT IN WHAT I AM
THAN BE LOST IN WHAT I'LL NEVER GET BACK!
You say my dreams only last 'til the end of the night
But if you'd open your eyes
You'd see they carry do the morning light
Morning light!
I don't need sleep to live my dreams
So, stay the hell away from me!
If I could find a way to turn back time
I won't change; you can't change me;
Why would you even try?!
Take your words and walk away
'Cause I can't stand to hear you say
Everything that you
Think I will never be
