I love hawk nelson
I tried to be perfect
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
You take my breath away
Now i'm trying to get up
I'm trying to retrace my steps back to wherever i messed up
Is forever enough?
I'm holding on
I know you'll be there whenever i wake up
Do they even know? Do they even know?
If I was brave I'd write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won't say nothing
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I'll start with something
There's got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say to try to make us feel this way
And you can take the one thing I have left
I'd give it all away for so much less
Could even take the heart inside my chest
And you can take the one thing I have left
Beat me to the ground and take my breath
But you can't take who I am
These are the things we go through
Let's take control and be ourselves
Let's not waste time wondering about
How we're gonna make it out
Wake up everyone around you
Let's rock until the clock strikes two
Stand up for what you believe and shout to
Here's another song from the youth that surround you
Can You hear me? Does anyone around me
Feel the way that I feel now?
Cause from the window where I sometimes cry
I just want to see Your face tonight
And I’m willing to lose everything I am
Cause I need You more than ever
I need Your help to find where I’ve been going wrong so far
Broken words said to me
These broken mirrors make it hard to see
Does anyone feel the same?
I need some help, I need some change
Broken dreams and broken hearts
You broke my trust right from the start
How am I supposed to feel
When nothing’s ever real
Tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger
Tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you
You take my breath away
Now i'm trying to get up
I'm trying to retrace my steps back to wherever i messed up
Is forever enough?
I'm holding on
I know you'll be there whenever i wake up
Do they even know? Do they even know?
