(Verse 1)
I know I've become
what you have always feared I'd be
A selfish wish I've known
Will lead me far from amnesty

(Prechorus)
Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way
Without you next to me I can honestly say

(Chorus)
You're holdin me back
From what I believe
This dream that I wish
Will finally be
Cause you're holdin me down
When I try to see my way from you
Now you know..

(Verse 2)
When I finally saw a chance I ducked out instantly
I left without a trace and pray that you by chance don't see

(Prechorus 2)
Still you think that I don't have the strength to find my way
Instead of testing me you should truthfully say

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Away, you don't go away
You won't go away
You don't seem to realize that
My eyes behold your useless scheme
To bring me to my wounded knees
My silence is but a pause to make
Your eyes finally see

(Chorus)
