I am a lion
and I want to be free
Do you see a lion
when you look inside of me
Outside the window just to
watch you as you sleep
Cause I am a lion born
from things you cannot be
How can I sleep at night
there's a war inside my head
I found a lion hidden right
beneath my bed
I will not hide myself
from the tears that you have shed
Cause I am a lion
and you are dead
Here's a story of everything
we'll ever be
You can hide
but some of us can never leave
And if you go
I don't need those little things
They remind me
of all our little dreams
Can you hear the words
all I can say
We can watch the world
even if they walk away
Forget about tomorrow
tomorrow is today
You were born a lion
and a lion you will stay
I am a lion
and I want to be free
Do you see a lion
when you look inside of me
Outside the window
just to watch you as you sleep
Cause I am a lion born
from things you cannot be
Remember an army
of all those little kids
Living life like they
only get a little bit
It's hard to fight
when you're born
in the middle and
I'd rather die
won't watch you giving in
I'm sorry daughter
but your father's not the same
I can look into your eyes
and I'll swear that I will change
But tomorrow is tomorrow
so forgive me if I stay
You can hide beneath
the covers while
I hide behind the pain
After all
only so much we can say
Words can lose their meaning
once you walk away
Promise that you'll love me
watch me as I fade
I'll give you all those things
that these liars never gave
The hands on the clock
and the things we cannot change
Tear it all to pieces
and take back what I made
If there's one thing I'd keep
it's you that I would save
Cause I am just a lion
and a lion I will stay
I am a lion
and I want to be free
Do you see a lion
when you look inside of me
Outside the window
just to watch you as you sleep
Cause I am a lion born
from things you cannot be
Hey
I never meant to let go
All I want
and you're all I ever wanna know
Can’t hide
in the attic of a pretty home
of a pretty home
of a pretty home
Hey
I never meant to let go
All I want
and you're all I ever wanna know
Can’t hide in the
attic of a pretty home
of a pretty home of a pretty home
Hey
I am a lion
and I want to be free
Do you see a lion
when you look inside of me
Outside the window
just to watch you as you sleep
Cause I am a lion born
from things you cannot be
