i know you say you want what's best for me
i tried to understand
these words are hurting don't you see
though you say you care
it's like you seem to think i'm unbreakable
i've learned to believe in myself
cause no one else can map this out
i'll take this one step at a time i get
it's not for you
and you think it's unattainable
make my dreams a little smaller
and just keep them in my head
you'll understand it when you're older
are the words that you said
maybe i'll outgrow this town
and lose some friends along the way
but i'll get to see the world
through the eyes of someone brave
maybe i'll be the last to know
can i be more than just a show
i don't expect to have it all but
at least i've had a go
because you said that you were on my side
i showed you weakness
stop holding that against me
don't say you'll be there for me
i know it's all a lie
make my dreams a little smaller
and just keep them in my head
you'll understand it when you're older
are the words that you said
maybe i'll outgrow this town
and lose some friends along the way
but i'll get to see the world
through the eyes of someone brave
maybe i'll be the last to know
can i be more than just a show
i don't expect to have it all but
at least i've had to go
maybe i'll grow this town
hang with some friends along the way
but i'll get to see the world
through the eyes of someone brave
maybe i'll be the last to know
could i be more than just a show
i don't expect to have it all
but at least i've had to go
