The lies of romance smash the windows of my mind    Searching for those fairy tales I've heard so many times    I'll close my eyes to block out the light    And to see inside of me    I'll carry the world on my shoulders    And I'll prove what I can be       Yes I'll prove what I can be       I'll forge my own destiny    I'll create my own future with possibility    Why is it trying to tell me    That happiness is a light that no one sees?    I'll scream as loud as I can    Break down all the walls of ignorance       In a perfect life    (I won't have to even try)    In a perfect life    (I won't have to close my eyes)       I'll close my eyes to block out the light    The light that has blocked me in    I've tried to many times to run as fast as I can    Away from things that scare me    I'm falling    I'm falling down    Stop me before I fall too far    The time has come for me to leave       My time has come       Separate    My fear from hate    It's held me back for too long now    I believe    I will survive    Long enough to succeed    Long enough to get by       And I know what a perfect life could be    So far away, yet so close to all my dreams       And as the time goes by       Just leave it up to me.
