How can people say what they mean
And mean whatever they say?
When lies trap words inside our mouths,
And the truth is too afraid,
How can people love who they want
And want the one they love?
When the person that we've fallen to
Is someone we can't have,
How can people stay the same
And change themselves as well?
When society's perspective don't
Agree with what they tell,
How can people dream of dreams
While staying wide awake?
When the world tells you to fall asleep,
But has your future held at stake,
And how can people ever be strong
While having wounds no one can mend?
When everything that matters to us
Are the ones that hurt us in the end
