They may take everything from you,

They may take your time to think things through.

They'll tell you everything that you want to hear,

Until you tell them that what they say is true.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,

And your given voice sounds so meaningless.

That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,

That you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,

Don't give them your soul.

Don't give them your soul,

Save that soul for me.

I've got those same five walls,

Stare at the ceiling trying to transcend it all.

That's when your doubt creeps in,

Tells you to break your wings,

Tells you you need not try,

Because you're afraid to fall.

That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,

And your given voice sounds so meaningless.

That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,

That you think you sound just like your heroes.

I may hurt you,

Darling I might leave you.

I might absentmindedly mistreat you.(but listen...)

But at the end of it all,

And at the end of the day,

I only want one thing.

I just want you to be you.
