Words and Music: Jim Johnston
|
|
I grew up inside a world of pains and ordinary things,
|
That never seemed right in my eyes.
|
And so my conscience and I, we took flight and stretched our wings,
|
If you can't see the reason why, let it be,
|
Just let me dream, let me breathe, and I'll let you dream.
|
But you know you have the answer,
|
I see the one man jury in your eyes, and you want to live my life.
|
I tell myself that there are things that I could never see your way,
|
I'm not saying that its a lie.
|
I just know I must be free from what you've always hoped I'd be,
|
What good did it do to try?
|
Let it be, just let me dream, let me breathe, and I'll let you dream.
|
I don't know who has the answers,
|
Though a hundred thousand jurors take your side.
|
But I don't want to live your life.
|
Telling me that I'm the black sheep for doing what I have to, to survive.
|
Cause I don't want to live your life.
|
I gave up on all your planes and pains and ordinary things,
|
I didn't mean it to say goodbye.
|
But you're not my conscience and I.
|
We don't talk much anymore, and we both know the reasons why.
|
Let it go, don't let me go.just cause I don't want to live your life.
|
We are all just temporary, and I may see it clearly one day,
|
Why does it always have to be a war?
|
I don't know who has the answers, I always hoped that I could take my time,
|
But I can't relive my life.
|
Don't want to say goodbye, don't want to say goodbye, I can't say goodbye.
