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)
