These shallow thoughts are flowing quickly to an end from your mouth But did you know that you’re drowning my dreams in your 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 won’t 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 (Chorus) 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 because I stand to hear say Everything that you think I will never be It feels like every time 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 understand? Trace back the lines we’ve drawn and picture what this life could be (Chorus) 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 because I stand to hear 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 fulfillment in what I am than be lost in what I’ll never get back They say my dreams only last till the end of the night But if you’d open your eyes you’d see they carry to the morning light I don’t need sleep to live my dreams so stay the hell away from me (Chorus) 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 because I stand to hear say Everything that you think I will never be
