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 roar 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 the 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'r born in the middle and

I'd rather die, wont watch you giving in.

I'm sorry daughter but your fathers 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 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 you walk away

promise that you love me, watch me as I fade.

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

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.
