Going with the motions Doing what's expected Feeling what we're taught Disconnected from our heart I'm not weak because I care I shouldn't have to compromise I hope when you hear this Something clicks behind your eyes We don't have to be afraid We don't have to be like them We don't have to be angry And we don't have to play pretend It's the way we share words They morph from brain to mouth Masking them with a joke Always weary of what comes out I know I have it in me To really speak from the soul But it's the ego that stops me And keeps me playing that role We don't have to cause pain We don't have to keep it in We don't have to be the strongest We don't have to always win We don't have to act out We don't have to have a plan We don't have to be the best We don't have to be the man No Yeah C'mon C'mon Why can't we Why can't we Why can't, why can't, why can't Why can't we show love? Why can't we say sorry? Why can't we try? Why can't we be okay with not being right? Why can't we grow? Why can't we be there for each other? Why can't we be there for ourselves? Why can't we be real? Why can't we open up? Why can't we feel?
