Lion

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 the 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-end

I'd rather die than watch you giving in

I'm sorry daughter but your father's not the same

I can look into your eyes and I swear that I will change

But tomorrow is tomorrow so forgive me if I say

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 you walk away

Promise me that you'll love me watch me as I fade

I'll give you all the things that these lions never gave

The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change

Tearing out the 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'll 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'll ever wanna know

Can't hide in the attic of a pretty home

Of a pretty home of a pretty home

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
