I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be How can I sleep at night? There's a war inside my head I found a lion hidden right beneath my bed I will not hide myself from the tears that you have shed Cause I am a lion and you are dead Here's the story of everything we'll ever be You can hide but some of us can never leave And if you go I don't need those little things They remind me of all our little dreams Can you hear the words all I can say? We can watch the world even if they walk away Forget about tomorrow, tomorrow is today You were born a lion and a lion you will stay I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be Remember an army of all those little kids Living life like they only get a little bit It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle end I'd rather die while watch you giving in I'm sorry daughter but your father's not the same I can look into your eyes and I'll swear that I will change But tomorrow is tomorrow so forgive me if I say You can hide beneath the covers while I hide behind the pain After all, only so much we can say Words can lose their meaning once you walk away Promise that you'll love me, watch me as I fade I'll give you all those things that these lions never gained Hands on the clock and the things we can't change Sharing all the pieces and take back what I made There's one thing I'd keep, it's you that I would save Cause I am just a lion and a lion I will stay I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be Hey, I never meant to let go All I want is you're all I ever wanna know Getting high in the attic of a pretty home Of a pretty home, of a pretty home I never meant to let go All I want is you're all I ever wanna know Getting high in the attic of a pretty home Of a pretty home, of a pretty home I am a lion and I want to be free Do you see a lion when you look inside of me? Outside the window just to watch you as you sleep Cause I am a lion born from things you cannot be Thanks for watching!
