You feel their eyes upon you
Hear their words behind you
What do they know (what do they know)
About you
They tell you who you should be
They tell you what you should do
They'll never believe (never believe)
In you
Somebody should have told you
It never comes easy
And somebody should have told you that
There's no guarantees
And that you lose it all
When you stop dreaming
There's no way to know if you run away
(They tell you who you should be while ignoring your dreams)
This is your time to stand up
This is your time to fight for
All that you know (all that you know)
And you believe
You owe it to yourself to
Find out what you're meant for
There's no way to know (no way to know)
If you run
Somebody should have told you
It never comes easy
And somebody should have told you that
There's no guarantees
And that you lose it all
When you stop dreaming
There's no way to know if you run away
(They tell you who you should be while ignoring your dreams)
There's no looking back
They tell us who to be
While ignoring all our dreams
So we'll throw them away (we'll throw them away)
Why is it they can't see
That we're who we want to be
We'll throw them away (we'll throw them away)
Why can't they see
That we'll never be who they want us to be, we'll never be
We have too many dreams, too many dreams
Why can't they see
That we'll never be who they want us to be, we'll never be
We have too many dreams, too many dreams to just throw them away
Somebody should have told you
It never comes easy
And somebody should have told you that
There's no guarantees
And that you lose it all
When you stop dreaming
There's no way to know if you run...
(They tell you who you should be while ignoring your dreams)
Somebody should have told you
It never comes easy
And somebody should have told you that
There's no guarantees
And that you lose it all
When you stop dreaming
There's no way to know if you run away
(They tell you who you should be while ignoring your dreams)
There's no looking back
There's no looking back
