'if you don't swim you'll drown'


Its 4am and I’m awake again
with memories of hide-n-seak for a week
now we only seek to meet expectations set so high only the stars can reach
wow ooh wow ooh x2
I guess thats why I don’t see you anymore.
too busy performing your broadway show
now I don’t have days where I miss the old you any more,
they’re more like life times flashing through my eyes,
waiting for you to arrive at the place you once called home,
but you don't stop the little white lies I’ll be over tonight is just another lie
you told me two weeks ago.
stop pretending you're someone you're not,
cause when the show is all over no one will watch.
when you stand tall in the future
  but you’re not ready to face today
until your doll face can’t handle reality
no make up can hide the scars of yesterday
you try so hard to please the population but they don’t care what you wear
they just miss the old you, but they never told you.
now its too late for you.
