Do what you, what you want
If you have a dream for better
Do what you, what you want
Till you don't want it anymore
Remember who you really are
Do what you, what you want
Your world's closing in on you now
It isn't over
Stand and face the unknown
Got to remember who you really are
Every heart in my hands
Like a pale reflection
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can breakthrough
Do what you, what you want
You don't have to lay your life down
It isn't over
Do what you, what you want
Till you find what you're looking for
Got to remember who you really are
But every hour slipping by
Screams that I have failed you
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
There's still time
Close your eyes
Only love will guide you home
Tear down the walls and free your soul
Till we crash we'll forever spiraling down,
Down, down, down
Hello, hello it's only me
Infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to learn forgiveness
Hello, hello, remember me?
I'm everything you can't control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can breakthrough
Remember who you really are
Do what you, what you want
