Behind these walls

Im frozen in stone

Im gonna try to warm up to the fact im not perfect

My walls are up

Your not getting them down

Im want to try to turn this world around

I never said that this would be the easiest thing that i had to do

But every mistake that i made i never made because of you

You, you know that everythings not for you

And you dont have to give up

Youre the one whos got to grow on yourself

So put off all your doubts and your reservatons on the shelf

If im gonna try to impact on your lives

I have to try to find whats wrong afn fix

To the wrosts days of my lfie

If i could burn it from inside

And live the best that i can

Live the best that i can

I never said that this would be the easiest thing that i had to do

But every mistake that i made i never made because of you

You, you know that everythings not for you

And you dont have to give up

Youre the one whos got to grow on yourself

So put off all your doubts and your reservatons on the shelf

I cant stand myself when i make mistakes

So cold inside im about to bre eak eak

I cant live the life that you want me to live

Im gonna break out of my shell

Im gonna break free
