It's like i never thought that 

I would see the end 

I think i'm too involved 

To follow you again 

And all the things that fly 

Around inside my head 

I'm hoping i can free 

The light that can't pretend 



I was hoping 

You were saying 

I was just like you 

You won't take me 

You won't make me 

Out to be like you 



It's all the time i spent 

I lived inside of you 

And if you lied to me 

Pretend to see it through 

And all the simple things 

That made it all come true 

I'd never bend the rules to be you 



I was hoping 

You were saying 

I was just like you 

You won't take me 

You won't make me 

Out to be like you 

I won't be there if you want me 



Give up the guns 

Give up the drugs 

Give up the ones you need to love 



Give up the rain 

Give up the sun 

Give up the life you need to run 



I was hoping 

You were saying 

I was just like you 

You won't take me 

You won't make me 

Out to be like you 



You won't take me 

You won't make me 

Out to be like you (x2)
