It's like i never thought that

I would see the end

I think i'm too involved

To follow you again

And all the things that fly

Around inside my head

I'm hoping i can free

The light that can't pretend



I was hoping

You were saying

I was just like you

You won't take me

You won't make me

Out to be like you



It's all the time i spent

I lived inside of you

And if you lied to me

Pretend to see it through

And all the simple things

That made it all come true

I'd never bend the rules to be you



I was hoping

You were saying

I was just like you

You won't take me

You won't make me

Out to be like you

I won't be there if you want me



Give up the guns

Give up the drugs

Give up the ones you need to love



Give up the rain

Give up the sun

Give up the life you need to run



I was hoping

You were saying

I was just like you

You won't take me

You won't make me

Out to be like you



You won't take me

You won't make me

Out to be like you (x2)
