Live for tomorrow and just don't follow,
The path they laid hoping that you would change.
Day dreaming along their unknown road,
As you take one step, but fall back three more.

You'll no longer be my shadow,
In a world I thought was my own.
Blinded by my thoughts of living,
Not knowing what's real or a show.
Growing further from you mind,
Creating a new world in my life.
Falling in holes along the way,
But I can clean up after my mistakes.

I'm going to try and leave this behind,
And start off where I should have before.
Deep in my mind I know I can find,
The person I should have become.
I hope that out there someone will care.
I know that this is the real me,
And not something that you thought I should be.
I'm not some doll you want or need.
All I just want is to be free.

The things you say get under my skin.
With every breath I hang on like a kid.
They say for me to just let it go,
But if I do I might spiral out of control.
Cause so many people can actually win,
But only you can get under my skin.

Surrounded by so many people,
But finding every place to hide.
No matter which direction they look,
I'll always be in their blind side.

Stay tonight,
We can run away in our dreams if we want to.
Stay tonight,
You can leave but just know I don't want you to.
Stay tonight,
And know that everything will be alright.
If you just stay tonight.

Actions,
Speak on truth,
But live on lies.
Surrounded by people,
Who all know different sides.

Just want to be the one you accept,
Even though we both know I'm not the best.
