My destiny's made out for me Everything that I see Living someone else's dreams Will not fade away
Everything you didn't get Living out your old regrets All your worried loss I'be met Straight in the face
I don't see through your eyes I don't touch through your hands I don't walk in your shoes I won't live out your plans
For all the things you never made and all the words you never said and just what do you expect? I can't live for you
Does it make me any less Not living inside your regrets I wasn't born inside your steps But I'll do my best
I don't see through your eyes I don't touch through your hands I don't walk in your shoes I won't live out your plans
And I'll never be what you want me to be And I'll never see what you want me to see And you'll never get what you want out of me And I'll never live out my father's dreams
I'm sorry what you never had It's not my place to repeat that In hopes that I'll get some of what You let slip away
The power and the hungry fear You always felt was much too near Let's turn and go someplace where We can stand face to face
