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 can not be
How can I sleep at night theres 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
Heres a story of everything well ever be
You can hide but some of us can never leave
And if you go I dont 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 where born a lion and a lion you will stay
I am a lion and I want to be free
Do you see the 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 can not be
Remember an army of all those little kids
Livin life like they only get a little bit
Its hard to fight when youre born in the middle-end
Id rather die then watch you givin in
Im sorry daughter but youre fathers not the same
I can look into your eyes and I 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 me that youll love me, watch me as I fade
Ill give you all the things that these lions never gave
The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change
Tearin out the pieces and take back what I made
If theres one thing Id keep, its 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 the 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 and youre all Ill ever wanna know
Cant hide in the attic of a pretty home
Of a pretty home, of a pretty home
Hey! I never meant to let go
All I want and youre all I ever wanna know
Cant hide in the attic of a pretty home
Of a pretty home, of a pretty home
Hey!
I am a lion and I want to be free
Do you see the 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 can not be
