These shallow thoughts are flowing quickly to an end from your mouth
But did you know you are drowning my dreams in your doubt
Take time to see what you are and what you are doing to me
Does shutting me down pushing me out make you feel free
You are just another stone in my way
But you will not 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 have drawn and picture what this life could be
If I could find a way to turn back time
I will not change you cannot change me
Why would you even try
Take your words and walk away because I can stand to hear you say
Everything that you think I will never be
It feels like every time I speak you turn my worlds around on me
So I am treading carefully always afraid to breath
Leave me be and let me reach all of the things that you do not believe
I could ever hold in my hands
How could you never hope to understand
Trace back the lines we have drawn and picture what this life could be
If I could find a way to turn back time
I will not change you cannot change me
Why would you even try
Take your words and walk away because I can stand to hear you say
Everything that you think I will never be
There was a good chance that I have 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 would rather find fulfillment in what I am than be lost in what I will never get back
You say my dreams only last till the end of the night
But if you open your eyes you would see they carry to the morning light
I do not need sleep to live my dream so stay the hell away from me
If I could find a way to turn back time
I will not change you cannot change me
Why would you even try
Take your words and walk away because I can stand to hear you say
Everything that you think I will never be
