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 war 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

That 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 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

Remember an army of all those little kids?

Living life like they only get a little bit

It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle and

I'd rather die

won't watch you givin' in

I'm sorry daughter but your father's 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'll love me

watch me as I fade

I'll give you all those 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
