It's like I never thought that   I would ever see the end   I think I'm too involved    To follow you again   And all the things that fly    Around inside my head   I'm hoping I can free   The light that can't pretend      (chorus)   I was hoping you were saying   I was just like you   You won't take me   You won't make me    Out to be like you      It' all the time I spent   I lived inside of you   And if you lied to me   Pretend to see it through   And all the simple things    That made it all come true   I'd never bend the rules to be you      I was hoping you were saying   I was just like you   You won't take me   You won't make me    Out to be like you   I won't be there if you want me      Give up the guns    Give up the drugs   Give up the ones you need to love   Give up the rain    Give up the sun   Give up the life you need to run      I was hoping you were saying   I was just like you   You won't take me   You won't make me    Out to be like you
