| I am a lion, and I want to be free
|
| Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
|
| Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
|
| 'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
|
| How can I sleep at night? |
| There's a war inside my head
|
| I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed
|
| I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed
|
| 'Cause I am a lion, and you are dead
|
| Here's a story of everything we'll ever be
|
| You can hide, but some of us can never leave
|
| And if you go, I don't need those little things
|
| They remind me of all our little dreams
|
| Can you hear the words? |
| All I can say
|
| We can watch the world even if they walk away
|
| Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow is today
|
| You were born a lion, and a lion you will stay
|
| I am a lion, and I want to be free
|
| Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
|
| Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
|
| 'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
|
| Remember an army of all those little kids
|
| Living life like they only get a little bit
|
| It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle, and
|
| I'd rather die, won't watch you giving in
|
| I'm sorry, daughter, but your father's not the same
|
| I can look into your eyes, and I'll swear that I will change
|
| But tomorrow is tomorrow, so forgive me if I stay
|
| You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain
|
| After all, only so much we can say
|
| Words can lose their meaning once we walk away
|
| Promise me that you'll love me, watch me as I fade
|
| I'll give you all those things that these liars never gave
|
| Put the hands on the clock and the things we cannot change
|
| Tear it all to pieces and take back what I made
|
| If there's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save
|
| 'Cause I am just a lion, and a lion I will stay
|
| I am a lion, and I want to be free
|
| Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
|
| Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
|
| 'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be
|
| Hey, I never meant to let go
|
| All I want and you're all I ever wanna know
|
| Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home
|
| Of a pretty home, of a pretty home
|
| Hey, I never meant to let go
|
| All I want and you're all I ever wanna know
|
| Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home
|
| Of a pretty home, of a pretty home, hey
|
| I am a lion, and I want to be free
|
| Do you see a lion when you look inside of me?
|
| Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep
|
| 'Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be |
