want to be the way that is planned for you
want to watch your life become beautiful
want to do the things that you know are right
want to take control of everything in sight

(chorus)
what is the point of the things that you're doing
what good will come of the things that you're losing
you might call me blind but i never saw it coming
you got away but you left me running

people say i'm right to sin cause i will be forgiven
but i don't care what people say it's my life that i'm livin
want to live it right and come out on top in the end
and the only place you're taking me is right down beside them
