What if I stumble? What if I fall? What if I'm the champion of the crawl? What if I lied, just to cover the truth? What if I waste all of my dreams into the sea? What if my greatest fear is me?
  Where can I run to, to escape from myself? Would you still be there? Would you still be there?
Cardiac arrest, heart pounding outta my chest. And if I let you down, would you still be there? If I'm broke, would you still love me?
  What if I'm troubled? What if I'm flawed? And what if I like girls? What if boys? And what if I listen to all of what they say? They promise forever and then walk away.
What if I'm broken? What if I'm broken? What if I'm broken?
Cardiac arrest, heart pounding outta my chest. Don't wanna become like a car crash dummy.
If I let you down, would you still want me around? If I'm broken, would you still love me?
If I was broken, would you still love me? Would you still love me?
And what if I'm broken? And what if I waste all of the days of my youth? What if I'm broken? What if I cast all of my dreams into the sea? What if I waste all of the days of my youth? What if I'm broken? Where can I run to, to escape from myself? Would you be there? Would you be there?

Too many words. Too many names. I'm too tired to play in their selfish games.
  I'm holding back, until their gone... It's a feeling that, I've know for too long.
  I close my eyes, just breathing, heart beating, and realize that....
  I can't and I won't be defined. No. No. I live my own life. I'm free to be me, nothing but me. I'm free to be me.
  All of my life. All of these tears. All of my dreams. All of my fears. I've had to learn to let them fall, cuz they don't own me at all.
  Always gonna be people tryna hate, cuz their life isn't quite in a right place. Just walking, talking with no aims. Wasting time on mean less games.
  I can't and I won't be defined. No. No, I live my own life. I'm free to be nothing, but me. I'm free to be me.
  I close my eyes, just breathing, heart beating, and realize that...
  I can't and won't be defined. No. No, I live my own life. I'm free to be nothing, but me.

  I'm free to be me.

I don't care if you walk right on by with another girl. See I got plenty of time. Plenty of time.
        You can ******* off. It won't make a difference. I won't miss you. No changing its mind.
       Sometimes you look right through, but all I see, all I see is you.
         Yea.
       I'm kinda like a train that won't stop. Volta put the key inside the lock. Like you. Like you. Like me or not.
       Never gonna lose this spot. Waiting for you to connect the dots. I'm gonna like you. Like you. Like me or not.
        Like me or not.
        I don't care if you lose my number. Ain't gonna crumble. Ain't gonna fall to the floor. I've always got more.
       And tell all of your friends you're not my type. If you don't try me, how are you ever gonna know for sure?
      How can you be sure?
      Sometimes you look right through, but all I see is you, all I see if you.
      Yea.
      Sometimes you just know, that you shouldn't let go.
      Like me or not.
      Whoa!
       Let's see if we can connect the dots, boy!
       Whoa!
       Like me. Like me. Like me or not.

Thoughts running through my head. Feeling alone again. As hard as they try, their left misunderstood.
    Wearing chains of anger, regret, and guiltless. The keys have been swallowed.
    Surviving on the motivation and hope's nowhere to be found.
    Running the white line like a fugitive on the run. Not knowing what I'm running from, not knowing where I'm going.
   Steadily I'm slowing. I was suppose to be more. Where are the dreams? The older ones we grow, the colder the world seems.
   Breathing in the smoke, blow away the ambition and dedication. So many questions, so little time.
    The age of innocent, we find to be our prime.
    Life if the greatest trick of all time. Bittersweet, just to be alive.
    To feel something, only to have it taken away.
    Living for the moment, but the moment is dark.
    Put our hearts into love, only to have it take away.

— The End —
