Its a cruel cruel world, to face on your own,
A heavy cross, to carry along,
The lights are on, but everyones gone,
And its cruel
Its a funny way, to make ends meet,
when the lights are out on every street,
It feels alright, but never complete,
without joy,
I checked you, if its already been done, undo it,
It takes two, its up to me and you, to prove it,
On the rainy nights, even the coldest days,
youre moments ago, but seconds away,
The principal of nature, its true but, its a cruel world
I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And Im not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And Im not keeping up
The strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
And so I tell myself that Ill be strong
And dreaming when theyre gone
Cause theyre calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that Im still breathing
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place
The only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
And so I tell myself that Ill be strong
And dreaming when theyre gone
Cause theyre calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
Home, home
Home, home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
And so I tell myself that Ill be strong
And dreaming when theyre gone
Cause theyre calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when Im alone
I wont let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
Its the one good thing that Ive got
I wont let you down
So please dont give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didnt know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirls pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race, a prettier face
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way
Think Im gonna get me some happy
I think theres something you should know
I think its time I told you so
Theres something deep inside of me
Theres someone else Ive got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I dont belong to you
And you dont belong to me
Freedom
I wont let you down, freedom
I will not give you up, freedom
Gotta have some faith in the sound
You got to give what you take
Its the one good thing that Ive got, freedom
I wont let you down, freedom
So please dont give me up, freedom
Cause I would really, really love to stick around
