Ambitions

rarely do i get the chance
to look inside myself
and see the man
i'm expected to be

so many hopes and dreams
on my shoulders now
i can't shake them off
i just don't know how

why am i holding
your dreams for you?
you had your chance
it's time to let me live how i choose

i only get one shot
at this life
so why would i live it for you?
this is my time now
i'm going to live for me
you can beg all you want
i'm still ditching this scene
i can't stand where i am
this place isn't meant for me

so many hopes and dreams
on my shoulders now
i can't shake them off
i just don't know how

in the back of my mind
the longing starts to grow
it's taken me over
i've got to go

you hold me down
and expect me to be thankful
when all you've done
is made me hateful

there's nothing left
for me in this place
my hearts always beat
at a different pace

i've said it once
but i'll say it again
you can't hold me down
i'll break free in the end

i only get one shot
at this life
so why would i live it for you?
this is my time now
i'm going to live for me
you can beg all you want
i'm still ditching this scene
i can't stand where i am
this place isn't meant for me

you can beg me to stay
tell me this is my home
but my head is filled
with the dreams that i know

my head is filled
with the dreams that i know
