I don't know what I want, so don't ask me, cause I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on. Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world. Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission, but I'm ready to fly. -A place in this world
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day. Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say and now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you. You never did give a damn thing honey, but I cried, cried for you and I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you. Every smile you fake is so condescending, counting all the scars you made and now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you. -Cold as you
So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in. I can still see you, this ain't the best view on the outside looking in. I've been a lot of lonely places. I've never been on the outside. You could've helped if you wanted to, but no one notices until it's too late to do anything. -The outside
No one knows that you cry, but you don't tell anyone that you might not be the golden one and you're tied together with a smile, but you're coming undone. -Tied together with a smile
I see your face in my mind as I drive away, cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way. People are people and sometimes we change our minds, but it's killing me to see you go after all this time. We know it's never simple, never easy, never a clean break, no one here to save me. You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand and I can't breathe without you, but I have to, breathe without you, but I have to. It's 2 am, feeling like I just lost a friend. Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me. -Breathe
I took a chance, I took a shot and you might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not. You took a swing, I took it hard, and down here from the ground I see who you are. I'm sick and tired of your attitude, I'm feeling like I don't know you. I know that you see what you're doing to me, tell me why. You could write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day. Well I get so confused and frustrated, forget what I'm trying to say. I'm sick and tired of your reasons, I got no one to believe in. Why do you have to make me feel small so you can feel whole inside? Why do you have to chase down my dreams so you're the only thing on my mind? I take a step back, let you go. I told you I'm not bulletproof, now you know. -Tell me why
All this time I was wasting, hoping you would come around. I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down and it's taking me this long, baby, but I figured you out and you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around. This is the last straw, don't wanna hurt anymore and you can tell me that you're sorry but I don't believe you baby like I did before. You got your share of secrets and I'm tired of being last to know and now you're asking me to listen, cause it's worked each time before. -You're not sorry
I'm thirteen now and I don't know how my friends could be so mean. I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys and we drive and drive until we've found a town far enough away and we talk and window-shop until I've forgotten all their names. I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school. I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you. Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay, but I know I had the best day with you today. -The best day
And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you. Somebody else gets what you wanted again and you know it's all the same, another time and place. Repeating history and you're getting sick of it, but I believe in whatever you do and I'll do anything to see it through because these things will change, can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down. This revolution, the time will come for us to finally win and we'll sing hallelujah. It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair. We're getting stronger now, find things they never found. They might be bigger, but we're faster and never scared. You can walk away, say we don't need this, but there's something in your eyes, says we can beat this. -Change
You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me. You have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like I'm nothing. You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard calling me out when I'm wounded. You picking on the weaker man. You can take me down with just a single blow, but you don't know, what you don't know. Someday I'll be living in a big old city and all you're ever gonna be is mean. Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me and all you're ever gonna be is mean. Why you gotta be so mean? And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game, with that same big loud opinion, but nobody's listening. Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things. Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing, but all you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean... -Mean
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little. Oh darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple. I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart, and no one will desert you, just try to never grow up, never grow up. So here I am in my new apartment, in a big city, they just dropped me off. It's so much colder than I thought it would be, so I tuck myself in and turn my night light on. Wish I'd never grown up, I wish I'd never grown up... -Never grow up
Long live the walls we crashed through. All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you. I was screaming long live all the magic we made and bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid. Long live all the mountains we moved, I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. I was screaming long live that look on your face and bring on all the pretenders. One day, we will be remembered. -Long live
Everybody's waiting, everybody's watching. Even when you're sleeping, keep your eyes open. Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown, everybody's watching to see the fallout. Even when you're sleeping, sleeping, keep your eyes open. -Eyes open
