They’re gonna tell you you’re gonna pay too high a price and try to convince you you’ve gotta play it safe this time they’re gonna work you they’re gonna try to wear you thin they want to protect you and leave you trapped inside your skin
Holding back and pretending not to be want you want to be, want you want to be Holding back and pretending not to be want you want to be
Well you were the lone star and they left you there where you fell another distraction another coin in the wishing well they’re gonna ignore you tell you to keep those thoughts inside and then they’ll forget you and you’ll always wonder if you even tried
(chorus)
We make the promise to ourselves each night: this time…this time…this time…
I wanna wake up I wanna breath and clear my head when I wanna lay down and die here in my bed I wanna take you I wanna smile and set you free I want to repay you by showing you how you don’t have to be
