i was raised in a small town
|
i couldn't wait to leave that small town
|
'cause i couldn't sit around and think that ignorance is surely killing me
|
and i'll be left flipping the sign at a closing burger king
|
with kids who gave up just like me
|
|
it is no one's fault
|
'cause no one wants to live this way at all
|
but they're so consumed their dreams just fade away
|
but what would you trade to get one thing to take what love has made
|
the system is flawed and the system fails us all
|
i need you to recall, because right now i can't feel your love at all
|
and i need that here to correct my past mistakes
|
the only real thing here is you,
|
and i wonder, watching, which one you would choose
|
|
i just hit the hard ground, but i was running when i hit the hard ground
|
i watched the dirt beneath my feet,
|
and all the bridges that were burning behind me
|
i'll be so free, someday baby
|
but you're like me, you'll have to wait and see
|
|
it is no one's fault
|
'cause no one wants to live this way at all
|
but they're so consumed their dreams just fade away
|
but what would you trade to get one thing to take what love has made
|
the system is flawed and the system fails us all
|
i need you to recall, because right now i can't feel your love at all
|
and i need that here to correct my past mistakes
|
the only real thing here is you,
|
and i wonder, watching, which one you would choose
|
|
lies can run while truth is tying it's shoes for you
|
lies can run while truth is tying it's shoes for you
|
|
some dreams take so long, don't ever let go
|
we've come too far, to give up and go home
|
some dreams take so long, don't ever let go
|
we've come too far, to give up and go home
