wide awake

I had dreams before you
Till you put me, put me, put me inside your box
And now you're waging holy wars to, oh
To make me, make me, make me something I'm not
I just bit my tongue for far too long
And I won't walk the line you wanna draw
It's tearing me in two
Is it enough to become another arrow that I dodge?

If I stay away
Would you only suffocate?
Bleed me out until I break
I'm wide awake
It's getting harder to pretend
It's you I won't resent

I forgot who I was before you
And I can't, and I can't, and I can't just pretend
All the red flags that I ignored, oh
Won't burn up and burn out
No, it's a dead end
When you look, do you see half of me?
You bend my will to be just what you need
And maybe you won't follow your own dreams
But I don't need this like you needed me

If I stay away
Would you only suffocate?
Bleed me out until I break
I'm wide awake
It's getting harder to pretend
It's you I won't resent

You wanna sleep in my bed
Won't walk a mile in my shoes, oh
You wanna live in my head
Too bad you can't afford the view, ooh-whoa
We'll make the same mistakes

If I stay away
Would you only suffocate?
Bleed me out until I break
I'm wide awake
It's getting harder to pretend
It's you I won't resent

If I stay away
Would you only suffocate?
Bleed me out until I break
I'm wide awake
It's getting harder to pretend
It's you I won't resent
