LYRICS:
“Why did it have to be you?”
Blindly ignoring the truth
I’d say it’s unlike you
But I still don’t know who you really are
Have you worn a mask all this time?
What are you hiding away?
Since the day you took on a role
That no one else could play
You forced yourself to change
Never thought it was unfair
Saying “when you need my help,
I will always be there”
Try to carry the weight of the world
With hands that aren’t your own
How long can you play this game
‘Til there’s nowhere left to go?
Put on the act for me
I see through you every time
Just how far can you get with that fake smile?
You never let me see you cry
I can tell you’re too afraid
One at a time
I’ll break down the walls you’ve made
Why do you live your life
With so much empty space?
Telling us to stand and watch
From a safe distance away
(It’s pretend, all pretend)
(Keep smiling, it’s alright)
Tell me, where does the story end
And where does love begin?
What else would you give up
Just to do it all again?
So chase your dream with all you’ve got
Let me bear the burden too
‘Cause I wanna see the real you smile
When you’re happy just for you, for you

LYRICS:
Be careful what you wish for
It’ll take you by surprise
I guess we’ll just wait and see
If we’ll ever break the ice
Put on your makeup and show me who you are
Shallow-hearted and superficial
Fall under pressure and blend into the crowd
All the gossip is influential
So you’re afraid to try too hard
‘Cause you don’t wanna have to face yourself
Spare me a lie, you’re content just to keep it all the same
Pushing out anyone that could incite a change
Cut it away, take a step so you won’t be left behind
‘Cause we’re all gonna go our separate ways in time
Something has gotta give, so tell it like it is
Put up a front, like you don’t know what to do
Too bad for you
You smile from the outside
And you can play it off like you never even cared
You can’t hide forever
Because I know you’ve got a lotta love in there somewhere
Charging ahead with no room for second thoughts
In your mind, there’s no other option
Got to make up for the years you felt alone
Take a chance with a new distraction
So you can say you’ve got your type
But we both know you just want to escape
Spare me a lie, jumping to a conclusion way too fast
Resolute, chasing after what you think you’ll never have
Go where you feel is right, that’s always been your style
I will be there as you conquer all your fears
And that’s too bad for you

LYRICS:
I don’t know why you’re never satisfied
A shadow looming over you that you can’t hide
Behind that smile
You look into the mirror every day
And wish that you would see a different face
Because you’re afraid
“It’s not enough”, and pretend that you're just fine
What would it take to make you realize?
With each step closer than ever
You feel so far away from me
And you keep it all inside your heart
Though it’s ancient history
But I don’t need you to change
I won’t let you go too far
‘Cause I’d never think that love means giving up
The angel that you are
Every day, I know you’re holding back
All those doubts are tightening their grip on you
But I know the truth
Everything you’ve bottled up inside
Wondering if it’s even worth a try
Let’s go tonight
Don’t force the hand, because all of us can tell
But in the end, all we got is just ourselves
But I’ve seen it in your eyes
You believed it from the start
‘Cause there’s nothing you will have to sacrifice
To love the one you are
I believe in you

LYRICS:
You run without a destination
Still holding on to admiration
Feel like you gotta give up all you have
Out of obligation
Say you’ll be needed when you’re older
Like picking up a four leaf clover
If only you were different from the rest
It could all be over
Bright and cheerful's your disguise
Just say you’re okay
You should’ve gone where I couldn’t see you
Go the extra mile when somebody needs you
All that you can do is keep running with no brakes
Out of control
Prove to yourself that you’ve got a purpose
Living through the lies, as if they were worthless
All so you can see through the promise that we made
We could never be the same
So go ahead and keep on trying
But I can see it when you’re lying
Your heart was never in it from the start
‘Cause your eyes aren’t shining
You’re running out of motivation
Still seeking out the validation
I know that you can run, but you can’t hide
From those expectations
Just slow down and smell the roses
I’ll be right there
Just keep on running
Nothing else that we can do
Just keep on running
‘Cause the future waits for you
So if you ever feel like you’re standing on your own
I hope you know that you’ll never be alone
I will always be with you

LYRICS:
Every day, it’s all the same
When is something finally gonna change?
Empty refrains, let them go by
Pushing on no matter what they say
All for the dream, aiming to please
Following the footprints from the start
What can you learn? What can you teach?
What is it you want with all your heart?
You don’t have to do this on your own
Don’t pretend it’s set in stone
Do you believe it could be fate?
That we all would end up here
You’ve got a one-track mind like me
Strong enough to face your fears
‘Cause you are no replacement
It wasn’t meant to be
Only you can change the future now
From the work of destiny
You’re not alone, just look around
Everybody wants to see you smile
Spending your life fighting the odds
Reaching for the stars beyond the sky
I’ll take you where you wanna be
If you trust in me, I’ll trust in you
Lessons we learn living our lives
Will stay with us forever
For all that you are
For the future you see
Spend each passing day
With you next to me
I love who you are
All your faults and your dreams
Spend each passing day
With you next to me
Just be who you are
You’re beautiful too
Wherever we go
I’ll always love you
