Doing Myself

Living life in monotony
I wanna break free
Spent my life following the line
Using up my time
It shouldn't feel illegal to use up what is mine
But you yell
And curse me to hell when I'm doing myself
And I can't think straight cause I'm holding the weight of your hate
All because I'm doing more than you ever achieved

When I'm up, won't leave you
I just can't say detached
Wish I could fly away
Be me and never look back
But I'm stuck in place
And faced with, your disgrace
When I choose to leave you
For a life without the strife
But they say we're the same
Cause we stick together
How can I be myself
If I choose to follow you

I feel free
When you're no longer present in my life
But blinded by the failures I wish I could fix
Clean the mirror over again
I still can't see clear
I should be at peace but I can't get you out of my head
And I can't think straight cause I'm holding the weight of your hate
All because I'm doing more than you ever achieved

When I'm up, won't leave you
I just can't say detached
Wish I could fly away
Be me and never look back
But I'm stuck in place
And faced with, your disgrace
When I choose to leave you
For a life without the strife
But they say we're the same
Cause we stick together
How can I be myself
If I choose to follow you

Someday I'll fly away and never contradict
But for now I'll think of the times I failed you
Wanna be like the people
On TV that live free
One minute I'm doing myself
Next I'm putting you first
And despite all the right you still spite
Someday I'll fly away and never look back
Wanna be like the people
On TV that live free
How can I be me if I follow you
