[Verse 1]
I'd rather walk alone
Than stand in a row
I'd line up everything I own
Decide what should stay and should go

[Verse 2]
This life was mine to choose
Yearning to wander through and through
At times I've been battered and bruised
But I'm still breathing in my youth

[Chorus]
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better
At being who you wanted me to be?
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity

[Verse 3]
You wear these brooding ghosts
Tighter and tighter 'round your throat
They're weighing you down like a stone
They might never let you go

[Chorus]
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better
At being who you wanted me to be?
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
Oh, I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
