Time after time we walk pass the window
And never see the ashes on the ground
Night after night watching the sky move
But never feel the earth spinning 'round
I didn't see you fallin', I couldn't hear you callin'
Born with eyes wide open, never learn to see
I never meant to hurt you, was right there cryin' with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?
Trying to follow every footstep
I feel so lost along the way
Readin' the scripture straight from the gospel
Never understandin' what they say
Yeah, I didn't see you fallin', I never heard you callin'
I've got my eyes wide open but haven't learned to see, yeah
I never meant to hurt you, was right there cryin' with you
Why do we harm the only thing we want to be?
I just gotta be me
I just gotta be me, yeah
I didn't see you fallin', I never heard you callin'
Got my eyes wide open, never learn to see
I never meant to hurt you, was right there crying with you
We only cage the very thing we want to free
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Gotta, gotta be, I just wanna be
I gotta be, I wanna be, I gotta, gotta
I gotta, gotta be me, I just wanna be
I, I wanna be me yeah, me yeah
