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 cannot be.
How can I sleep at night there's a roar 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.
Here's a story of everything we'll ever be
you can hide but some of us can never leave
and if you go I don't 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 were 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 cannot be.
Remember an army of all those little kids?
Living life like they only get a little bit.
It's hard to fight when you'r born in the middle and
I'd rather die, wont watch you giving in.
I'm sorry daughter but your 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 stay,
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 that you love me, watch me as I fade.
I'll give you all the things that these liars never gave.
The hands on the clock and the things we cannot change
tear it all to pieces and take back what I made.
If there's one thing I'd keep, it's 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 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 cannot be.
Hey! I never meant to let go
all I want, and you're all I ever wanna know.
Can't 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 you're all I ever wanna know.
Can't 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 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 cannot be.
