we're drowning in a sea of words I guess I'm talking way to much / after all these lines I see it's mostly about me and I don't think this is the way it should be / o say what you want to say cause I don't want to talk today / I want to hear what you think I want to hear what you say so I'm begging you to talk to me today / keep my mouth shut just won't do what I need to do is listen to you / some more minutes and I'll see it's hardly about me and maybe this is just the way it should be / so maybe this is that special day that I listen to every word you say / you said that you're strong when I am weak now what can I do to make you speak
it took me so long just to find the person I am deep inside / it took me so long just to see this is okay this is just me / did not always see so clear that things are not as they appear / it took a while until I knew that I just cannot be like you / so now I'm waking up standing up for who I am / this is me I cannot be perfect though I'm trying hard / this is me I guess you wanted me so / it took me long to figure out you can't define what's in and out / I did not see for far too long that even others can be wrong / I found no matter what you do there's someone to disagree with you / and my conclusion of this list everybody's darling can't exist / now I'm sick of pretending to be anyone but me
this mask you're wearing is supposed to protect you / you don't want us all to see who you really are / I thought you knew that what's beneath call it your heart was what took my breath away and made me fight for us / seems I was wrong / so now you thought I would love you as long as you were faking a smile / so now you thought I would want you to pretend everything was alright / it kills me / I felt your tears while you were faking a smile / all those moments that we had without disguise they took us deeper into what now scared you away / I thought you knew that I was trying just to find you / to give my love to who you are and not appear to be / but I was wrong / thought we could find a way to escape from all this / thought you wanted to leave it all behind with me by your side / I thought you knew I loved you
some unknown gleam is there beyond the water surface that I see and I dive into the dark / a shadow of an unknown world I've never seen but a silent hope has lead me here / this endless quest has made me think of giving up but this is not my time to quit / as this goes on I’ll be just fine yeah I will give this one more try as this goes on I’ll be just fine and you will not hear my goodbye / unspoken dreams have brought me here some distant light to guide me through as I run into the night / like prisoners within my chest will I release them? no other chance to reach the unknown / I feel there’s something more to find here still unknown so this is not my time to quit / as I go on your voice in my head my eyes on you this is not my goodbye
it's so easy to say "I don't want to be like you" cause it's exactly what people of my age do / no i don't want to look down on anyone else it's just that I have those pictures in my head / this is what I see inside of me / she cares too much what other people think but when it comes to her she doesn't dare to speak her mind / she's only happy when she feels like she's the queen the girl whose selfishness has made her blind / I feel out there is more somewhere inside my mind shapes a picture of a different way of life / I want to walk on water see how mountains move cause I know these are things that God can do / no I don't want to be that kind of girl I want to open up my eyes to things I see don't want to ask in every single thing I do what's in it for me
