Values

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low

You try to reach for the sky

Now you've got nowhere to go

You think it's worth the pain

You say you're free to choose

Hey you've got nothing to gain but everything to lose

I wish I could say everything you used to be blows up in smoke

For everybody else to see it's a joke

Doesn't it make you feel like you have to choke

On the words you spoke, the promise you broke

(You were looking kinda small to me)

Caught up in your world of misery

Cause when You found a light to lead the way

You were looking for a fire to lead you astray

Out of your mind

You were looking for change

You were going blind

Say what you want

Do what you want

Be who you wanna be

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low

You try to reach for the sky

Now you've got nowhere to go

You think it's worth the pain

You say you're free to choose

Hey you've got nothing to gain but everything to lose

I don't understand why you had to sacrifice your ideals

Everything you stood for, I know how it feels

Bouncing back and forth day by day

Never reaching home, never wanted to stay

You held your values high

Too high to reach

You almost touched the sky

Now you're back on your feet

Follow the light again, leading the way

And spit out the fire that lead you astray

Out of your mind

You were looking for change

You were going blind

Say what you want

Do what you want

Be who you wanna be

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low

You try to reach for the sky

Now you've got nowhere to go

You think it's worth the pain

You say you're free to choose

Hey you've got nothing to gain but everything to lose

You held your values high

Too high for you to keep

You almost touched the sky

Now you're back on your feet

You had your plans and hopes

You had your dreams to share

Now you've got nothing at all

You ended up nowhere

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low

You try to reach for the sky

Now you've got nowhere to go

You think it's worth the pain

You say you're free to choose

Hey you've got nothing to gain but everything to lose
