You held your values so high

How could you sink so low?

You tried 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

Does it make you feel like you have to choke on the words you spoke?

The promise you broke

You were looking kind of smothered in

Caught up in your world of misery

'Cause when you found the 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 want to be

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low?

You tried 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 have to sacrifice your ideals

Everything you stood for, I know how it feels

Passing back and forth day by day

Never reaching home (Never falling to the ground)

Held your values high to high to reach

Almost touched the sky, now you're back on your feet

Follow the light again leading the way

It spit out the fire that led you astray

Out of your mind

You were willing to change, you were going blind

Say what you want, do what you want

Be who you want to be

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low?

You tried 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

It's you and me, now no one

You held your values so high

How could you sink so low?

You tried 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
