This is the story of life    This is the story of you    This is a story that needs changing   Burdened by your parents past ideas and their behaviors   You eventually grew to inherit the worst of them    Though you declared that    I'll never be like them    I'll never be like that    Look closer it's all over you   Defeated everyday   It's a sickness you must face   If you perpetuate hate   There's no good, no gain   Break down the walls you have built    This is what you ignore    This you should embrace   This stubborn truth can't be challenged   The sickness you displayed sheds a bright white light    on your parents meddling   Never given a chance to develop yourself   Torn between who you are and who you could be   Never be like them    Never be like that   Look closer the truth's inside you    There is a difference between    Who you are and what they see   The simple truth is    It's hard to be free   Learn from their past   The mistakes that they've made   They may be waiting for change   Yet change is what you make   Learn from their past    The mistakes that they've made   They may be waiting for change   Yet change is what you make   Break down   Break down the walls you have built
