As 5 years pass sitting all alone
I'm suffocating, lost in the unknown
The waves I caught, they try to pull me down
To the horror of whats beneath me now
And as I drifted where the was no light
I saw an emerald glow from the brightest eyes
They spoke to me said it will be alright
Walk away from fear and leave it all behind
In spite of everything I've learned
You flew the nest like a little bird
Ignoring warnings I should have heard
All I wanted was to make it work
Days go by when I see your face
These white clouds all turn to grey
It's sad that some things never change
I thought I'd get you back someday
Don't run away from it now
We're asking why instead of how
Don't run away from it now
We're asking why
Instead of how
Days go by when I see your face
Instead of how
Days go by when I see your face
I'm waking up, my mind is my own, my mind is my own
I'm waking up, my mind is my own, my mind is my own
