Lonely child, don't you weep
We've scratched the surface only for relief
Walk without it, we'll go far

I know you're sad, so open up your arms
I don't wanna be an example
I'll just follow the rules
Just go and do what they tell you to

So they won't have proof
Walking slowly just to think
I've brought this on myself, I'm on the brink
Can't talk about it, I'll get worse
If only I could change and go my course

You-you are
My direction
You-you are
My direction

I don't wanna be an example
I'll just follow the rules
Just go and do what they tell you to
So they won't have proof
