I can't stand this inferior complexity
Created by your judgmental sighs
Of disappointment and pointless comparisons
And then you wonder, why I always cry
And run away when you walk this way
I can hardly breathe
I never knew being a burden would take so much time
I'm sorry, I can't be who you want me to be
Can only be the man I was born to be

I won't change
I need you to understand
I love you
But I can't be you
After all that's said and done
After the hourglass is gone
I need you to understand you're killing me

They say love is blind
My life is written in braille
As I start to fly, you think I'm set to fail
Countless conversations with my consciousness
That is the sin that I must confess

I'm like a bird in the cage
With my wings clipped
