What if I don't make it and I'm living on a sign
What if we can't take it and I'll never cross the line
To take me to the finish where I would feel fine
I ain't got no dime
I don't wanna lead a crime
You take my hand so I won't let go
But we both know
I'll end up on the road if I keep living like this
Pretending I would never kiss
Someone like you
Like I would never miss
Holding on to you
Like I'm meant to do
Ain't that the truth?
Ain't that the truth
Tear me down like "Ain't that the truth?"
I can breathe now
Don't you feel that?
Do you feel that?
The weight is gone,
It felt so strong
Don't be alarmed
You can't be harmed
I won't be heard
'Cause I won't be burned
'Cause they don't listen
No they never listen
But they would if I told them that I'll never give in
It will never sink in
Because I don't exist to fit in
To the standard
It's tough to handle
Don't light a candle
Just try to face me
They can't erase me
They can't erase me
Blow out your candle
Or put it on the mantle
I don't need it in my mind
I just wanna find
A place to feel safe
At home, I'll feel safe
Can I please feel safe?
