I was young I was just a boy when you told me dreams really do
Come true, but I wanted something different, I always wanted something
Different then this

Now we're grown and I've found out that what you
Want you've gotta take for yourself, but I search in the wrong places, I always
Search in the wrong places for them

Speak loud but you never wanna listen, scream out for everything I'm missin'
You want it all but you never wanna work for itAnd love is just a lyric we all sing along too
Bite your tongue, do as you are told
We'll make it easier for you to write this down
While time is running out, why won't you say it

This sort of thing it happens all the time, so you close your eyes
Pretend that things are fine, just like everything is perfect yeah, just
Like everything is perfect Just like, it's a cage and I'm on my own and I
Thank the lord I wound up alone because it makes me sick to see this, It really
Makes me sick to see you like this

Speak loud but you never wanna listen, scream out for everything I'm missin'
You want it all but you never wanna work for it
And love is just a lyric we all sing along too
Bite your tongue, do as you are told
We'll make it easier for you to write this down
While time is running out, why won't you say it

Call it what you like but just leave it out of it, this new
Change is for yourself, so take back what said, your
Not fooling anyone, your new life will find us well, when
Your all by yourself, it's too late

And love is just a lyric we all sing along too
Bite your tongue, do as you are told
We'll make it easier for you to write this down
While time is running out, why won't you say it [x2]
