Wanna Be

You take a step thinking ahead is the map
You realize the next one is a trap
You keep going that direction, past the fence
Breaking the glass, ignoring the exit

You try to run back, wanna take back the mistakes
Yet denying the same way won't change a thing
You walk on anyway, early on the sunset shines
Both your names appear on sand and sky

You thought there was a key, a simple touch of me
You wanted to be the answer to his mystery
What's wrong you wonder, trying to stay calm
The right one all along is not you after all

You wanna be the right one going the right way
You wanna be the right one he talks about all day
You wanna be the right one he thinks about at night
Your heart aches to stay connected through the fight

Have patience, the universe knows best
Leave all the negativity in the past
Avoiding the remains of what will never be
Can't be everyone's favorite, unfortunately

I'm about to start begging you to stay with me
Assuring you I'll help with the pain of yesterday
I'm about to direct every trauma to get lost
Paint a picture where only peace has a voice

You thought there was a key, a simple touch of me
You wanted to be the answer to his mystery
What's wrong you wonder, trying to stay calm
The right one all along is not you after all

All alone again, now you're a comedian
Embracing independence and your destiny
I guess that was the lesson behind the madness
Be who you are despite all the sadness

Just repeat to yourself, it wasn't meant for me
I give you so much credit for your strength and dignity
You can't fix some people who refuse to improve
Some are stuck but it doesn't mean it has to be you

You wanna be the right one going the right way
You wanna be the right one he talks about all day
You wanna be the right one he thinks about at night
Your heart aches to stay connected through the fight
