Born

I was never like her
I laugh as I am knocked down
Turned your face like I always did
When I was taking my time
I knew where I was born
I knew where I was blamed by the world
Where have you been?
You were with your wishes
What could have been
If a wish was kisses
One night I walked into a situation
That I could have avoided
But it turned into something
My babe noticed ain't right
It was something like a window
And I wanted to break free
You showed me a false halo
There will be no walking back
I walk away, my head turned
I wanted to break
Something like an innocent child
Walking by fire
Not another bullet in vain
