Lion Lyrics

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 the lion hidden right beneath my bed
I will not hide myself from the tears 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?
Livin life like they only get a little bit
It's hard to fight when you're born in the middle-end
I'd rather die than watch you givin in
I'm sorry daughter but your fathers not the same
I can look into your eyes and I swear that I will change
But tomorrow is tomorrow so forgive me if I say
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 me that you'll love me, watch me as I fade
I'll give you all the things that these lions never gave
The hands on the clock & the things we cannot change
Tearin out the 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 & you're all I'll 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 & you're all I'll 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
