Back to Me

So, it's true
We worked six days and when the seventh came, we knew
There were only weeds where our garden grew
I heard you say
"I still love you; if you want to stay, we could learn to pretend that everything's the same"

No, it's all right
I'll just bend my back until I break my spine
Isn't that the price? To just force a smile and pretend I'm fine
Go on, clip my wings
What good is my voice with no song to sing?
What good is my brush if I never paint a thing?

And I don't know why I keep falling asleep
Can't reach the surface when I'm down on my knees
I want to wake up, I just want to be free
So today I'll start again and get back to being me

I'm no shepherd's sheep
I know who I am, who I need to be
You used to be my light
The brightest star in the eastern sky
What a silent night
What a beautiful dream
But it wasn't mine
So keep your star and I'll follow my heart this time

I don't know why I keep falling asleep
Can't reach the surface when I'm down on my knees
I want to wake up, I just want to be free
So today I'll start again and get back to being me

There are miles to go before I sleep
With each promise, I intend to keep
I'll find a way to keep the fire going

And I don't know why I keep falling asleep
Can't reach the surface when I'm down on my knees
I want to wake up, I just want to be free
So today I'll start again and get back to being me
