I've spent so many nights watching sleep just pass me by
Contemplating who I am inside
What happened to the passion I had so long ago?
What happened to the boy I used to know?
I'm tired of being a failure
And I'm tired of being afraid
I'm waiting
To escape from this life
Because I'm not okay
Faking this smile anymore
I know someday I'll break away
Cuz I know that my time spent here
Won't mean a thing
If I don't make a difference
The artist draws a blank expression as he tries
To find the meaning held inside these lines
I tell myself I'm alright, but God knows that's a lie
Nothing ever seems to turn out right in my life
I'm tired of being a failure
And I'm tired of being afraid
I'm waiting
To escape from this life
Because I'm not okay
Faking this smile anymore
I know someday I'll break away
'Cause I know that my time spent here
Won't mean a thing
If I don't make a difference
I'm running in circles
With nowhere left to go
But I'm running, still running
Not knowing what's in store
It's so hard, just so hard
To feel alive, but I know in time
That I'll find what I'm looking for
I'm waiting
To escape from this life
Because I'm not okay
Faking this smile anymore
I know someday I'll break away
'Cause I know that my time spent here
Won't mean a thing
(Mean a thing)
I'm waiting
To escape from this life
Because I'm not okay
Faking this smile anymore
I know someday I'll break away
'Cause I know that my time spent here
Won't mean a thing
If I don't make a difference
