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 there's 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 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 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 It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle-end I'd rather die then watch you givin' in I'm sorry daughter but you're 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 you'll love me, watch me as I fade I'll 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 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 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 you're all I'll 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 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
