I'm Not a Mountain

If I could choose the things that I knew
And all the things that I'd see
I'd let the room fill with memories until
The walls were staring at me

The mystery of life is just taking flight
I watch the walls closing in
So I swallow my pride and I take another bite
I guess I'm dreaming again

I swear I'm unattached
Living in the past but
I can't get off my feet
You say we'll all go mad
But I don't believe that
So you'll prove it to me

(La da da da da da)

If I could choose, I'd never lose
I'd always take without giving
I wrote down the truth in letters to you
But I know you'll never get them
If I were a mountain, I'd stand my ground
And maybe I'd never listen
But if I were a mountain, I'd close my mouth and
Maybe I'd be forgiving

But I'm not
I'm not
I'm not
I'm not

I'm not a mountain
I can't hold you on my own
I'm not a mountain
I will crumble when you go
There in the square, my arms in the air
And is it so bad to be alone?

I can do it on my own

(I'm not, I'm not a mountain)
(I'm not, I'm not a mountain)

Is it really so bad?
Is it really so bad?
I can do it on my own
