(Verse 1)

I know I've become

what you have always feared I'd be

A selfish wish I've known

Will lead me far from amnesty


(Prechorus)

Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way

Without you next to me I can honestly say


(Chorus)

You're holdin me back

 From what I believe

This dream that I wish

Will finally be

Cause you're holdin me down

When I try to see my way from you

Now you know..


(Verse 2)

When I finally saw a chance I ducked out instantly

I left without a trace and pray that you by chance don't see


(Prechorus 2)

Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way 

Instead of testing me you should truthfully say


(Chorus)


(Bridge)

Away, you don't go away

You won't go away

You don't seem to realize that

My eyes behold your useless scheme

To bring me to my wounded knees

My silence is but a pause to make

Your eyes finally see


(Chorus)
