Don't Want To Be

Body after body
Soul after soul
All stuck together
Treated as a whole

Standing in line
Can't hear myself think
part of a chain
just one single link

And one little step
one little thought
would break the chain apart
who knows if we'd be caught

But I
don't want to be caught without you


go


live
No I
don't want to grow without you


love


be

I don't dare break the pattern
I don't dare break loose
It'd all be shattered
and the pain would be profuse

But sometimes a little
pain ain't so bad
It can lead to something better,
lead to something glad

I don't know what to do
Don't know if I can
lead a new life
be a new man

But I
don't want to grow without you


go


live
No I
don't want to know without you


love


be

Look at the moon
look up at the sky
nothing's the same
it's all gone awry

You're sucked back in
pulled in tight
into a black hole
can't find the light

Don't let it go
just watch it shine
don't waste away
run out of time

Cuz I
don't want to run without you


go


live
No I
don't want to know without you


love


be

Just let me see
what's going on in there
you've got a scratch, well
I've got a tear

I never know
you never care
can it be fixed?
or be repaired?

I don't know what to do
don't know what's wrong
do I turn away
or keep going strong


But I
don't want to go without you


grow


live
No I
don't want to know without you


love


be

I feel like they're just
mocking me
aided with deceit
their pattern just repeats

Why do they
tell me
tales of hopeless dreams
my dreams are incomplete

Why do they
show me
images of me, seeing
things I want to see

But I
don't want to see without you


be


live
No I
don't want to grow without you


love


be

Don't leave me here
sitting alone
I know this place too well
Its here I've grown

But I
don't want to grow without you


go


live
No I
don't want to know without you


love


be
