Goldenboy

I never said no when they asked
If I need the approval
But lately I'm stretched so thin
I can see right through
Never thought about what I want
Just followed and listen
Been playing this part so long
I don't know if your close enough to hear me
Please don't leave me
Come back home
My intentions were sincere
All these years
But now I know
I'm trying to come to terms with myself
Always been who I should be
For the sake of somebody else
And I can't carry all of this wеight
God knows that I've tried to
God knows that I'm bound to break
Try to plеase everyone, be the poster child
And I've kept this up for quite a while
Letting go of who I've been to come back to you
But it's been so long
I don't know if your close enough to hear me
Please come near me
Don't let go
'Cause my intentions were sincere
All these years
But now I know
I'm trying to come to terms with myself
Always been who I should be
For the sake of somebody else
And I can't carry all of this wеight
God knows that I've tried to
God knows that I'm bound to break
And it's hard to see
All of these parts of me
Real and what's make believe
Come back home
And I'm trying to find shapes inside the lines
Truth in my disguise
Come back home
If your close enough to hear me
Please come near me
Don't let go
'Cause my intentions were sincere
All these years
But now I know
That I'm trying to come to terms with myself
Always been who I should be
For the sake of somebody else
And I can't carry all of this wеight
God knows that I've tried to
God knows that I'm bound to break
And it's hard to see
All of these parts of me
Real and what's make believe
Come back home
And I'm trying to find shapes inside the lines
Truth in my disguise
Come back home
It's hard to see
All of these parts of me
Real and what's make believe
Come back home
I'm trying to find shapes inside the lines
Truth in my disguise
Come back home
