Did I live up to
All your expectations
I try to hide from
Everything that's breaking
I don't want y'all to know
When I feel like I'm not myself again
Was I way to selfish, or did I break the chains?
I don't wanna feel helpless when I walk away
When you see a happy child
Do you see behind the smile?
When he's standing in denial
Do you see the same ole kid you saw before?
Before, before, before, before
See it before he's lost
See it before he's gone
Orange in his eyes like the autumn leaves
Look to close and you mite just see
Everything behind his teeth
The boy is afraid
What's lies in his way
He's scared of the day
Where he can't go back
To before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
