lyrics

The weather reflects my mood.
Thunder is the anger booming, lightning is the fear consuming,
and raindrops are my tears
that roll down my face.
Makes me bleed mascara onto your collared shirt.
Life just really hurts and I can't
take it no more!
Well, I wanna be a star -
a beaming ball of light, burning bright.
Looking down at the world will be my delight
and I will shine at the most beautiful time of night!

I felt the wind, saw the sea
and outlines of the clouds through lightning storms.
My heart is torn
as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me.
And I realize that you had it wrong -
my words, my hopes, and my thoughts.
Thought I lived a year for something
and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you.

This house is a dungeon.
And I'm being controlled, I'm getting so old
and lately I have been so afraid.
Well what if I can't escape?
Well I don't wanna be saved!
And just like any captain, I'll go down with this ship.
Watch me as I hold my breath, watch me as I tense up my chest.
Well I'd rather be a martyr than die like all the rest!

I felt the wind, saw the sea
and outlines of the clouds through lightning storms.
My heart is torn
as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me.
And I realize that you had it wrong -
my words, my hopes, and my thoughts.
Thought I lived a year for something
and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you.

I wanna live, I wanna die!
And sometimes I don't even wanna try
to do anything. I get so apathetic
as to who I wanna be, and what I see in me
And I realize that you had it wrong -
my words, my hopes, and my thoughts.
Thought I lived a year for something
and found out it meant nothing 'cause I knew you.

Because I knew you, my life's been changed...for good.
