...

Wasn’t everything just perfect once?

Wasn’t everything just fine?

Didn’t I make you proud enough?

When I followed your lines.

 

I’m sorry that I strayed

I’m sorry that you stayed

To watch me fall

 

And I hate the way you stare

I hate the way you glare

And make me small

 

Why is it wrong to want something different

Expectations thrown against the glass

I’m lost in my own perceptions

Can’t find my way back

I wanted to make you love me

wanted you to cherish me so

But now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back

Home

 

You thought I was in control

I almost proved you right

But I won’t take this anymore, no

I’m done with this fight

 

My dreams are mine,

You’ve wasted your time

Trying to push me down, down

 

I may not be strong, no

I may not last long, but

Burning light is better than the dark

 

Why is it wrong to want something different

Expectations thrown against the glass

I’m lost in my own perceptions

Can’t find my way back

I wanted to make you love me

I wanted you to cherish me so

But now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back

 

I’ve lived my life in wire cages

Wishing that feeling wouldn’t last

And now I’m lost in my own perceptions

Can’t find my way back

I wanted to make you love me

I wanted you to cherish me so

But now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back

Home

 

I don’t know if I can leave these shackles behind

I’ve held them, and loved them so long

You can get addicted to lines and ridged boxes

But I won’t let that, I can’t let that, hold me down any more

No….

 

Because it’s not wrong to want something different

Expectations thrown against the glass

I’m lost in my own perceptions

Can’t find my way back

I wanted to make you love me

I wanted you to cherish me so

But now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back

 

My dreams are my life

Your word is gone

I’m not little canary

Any long-er

 

I wanted to make you love me

I wanted you to cherish me so

But now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back

 

I’ve lived my life in wire cages

Wishing that feeling wouldn’t last

And now I’m lost in my own perceptions

Can’t find my way back

I wanted to make you love me

I wanted you to cherish me so

And now the moonlight’s enticing

Can’t find my way back

No, won’t make my way back
