I keep sayin' that I'm free as a bird

But in every word

I feel like I'm lyin'


I keep singing to the moon in the sky

To the apple of my eye

I feel like I'm dyin'


And I keep striving for something that just isn't there

Sometimes, life isn't fair

Why do I keep playing its games?


I'm so sick of these rules and rigged cards

These mirror shard hearts

Sick of throwing these darts


I wanna let loose, hang out

Run wild and let go

Wanna get swept up by the waves

And float my way back home

I wanna set sail, turn tail

'Til it fades to black

'Cause when life gives you lemons

You know you can't give 'em back


I keep walking the path that I'm on

When you run in these halls

You'll be runnin' these streets


I keep treading the waters in blue

If I drown I'll be fine

Won't be wasting my time


And I keep striving for something that just isn't there

Sometimes, life isn't fair

Why do I keep playing its games?


I'm so sick of these rules and rigged cards

These mirror shard hearts

Sick of throwing these darts


I wanna let loose, hang out

Run wild and let go

Wanna get swept up by the waves

And float my way back home

I wanna set sail, turn tail

'Til it fades to black

'Cause when life gives you lemons

You know you can't give 'em back


Maybe I'm just selfish

'Cause feeling lonely isn't rare

Maybe I'm just longing

For something that was never there


Maybe I'm just selfish

'Cause feeling lonely isn't rare

Maybe I'm just angry

This game of life is never fair


I wanna let loose, hang out

Run wild and let go

Wanna get swept up by the waves

And float my way back home

I wanna set sail, turn tail

'Til it fades to black

'Cause when life gives you lemons

You know you can't give 'em back
