Deny the way things changed
Call it growing up
But that's a front
You forget just how real
Life can feel
Finding it pointless
To even say a word
If it's all in fear
Of what someone else might hear

Don't confuse the kindness in my eyes
For a weakness telling me to compromise
There's no bottle filled with answers
No universal standard written down
To save your life

But I bet this sounded better in your head
I'm losing interest in all your promises
It's a matter of fact
I was all alone
You were only looking out for yourself

I'll make my home inside this lighthouse
It's where I'll find my own answers to it all

I just can't pretend to be comfortable
With seeing the world through someone else's eyes
