lyrics

How do we sleep, knowing that we bend the truth?
Is this everything the world really wants us to be?
Do we, lose control of every step that we take?
And let this world take charge of the choices we make?

How do I become strong without ever being weak?
Why am I so ashamed?
The more I fight, the more I wanna give in
Am I aware now?

Why do we run from who we want to be?
Is life just about fitting in?
I've tried pretending, all I need is trust in me
To be more like me and less like them

How do we, know what's right without ever doing wrong?
We fake who we are just to feel that we belong
Has society's expectations really gone too far?
True happiness comes from embracing who we are

I pretend to let go of the regrets I hold inside
Why am I so ashamed?
Do I find peace when I finally let go?
Am I aware now?

Why do we run from who we want to be?
Is life just about fitting in?
I've tried pretending, all I need is trust in me
To be more like me and less like them

I've had enough now
Why do I pretend to be like them?

Keep running
Keep running
Why do we keep running away?

Why do we run from who we want to be?
Is life just about fitting in?
I've tried pretending, all I need is trust in me
To be more like me and less like them

Keep running
Keep running
More like me and less like them

Keep running
Keep running
More like me and less like them
