I tend to laugh more when I'm sad
And I hardly cry at all
You told me I had no right to be mad, ever
I shouldn't have believed you
You told me to be,
Someone that I knew I could never be
Someone I knew I didn't want to be
I searched for something new
But you shut my eyes
Just in time
To keep me ignorant
I walked alone on a beaten path
I strayed to the side
But you forced me to abide
So I just walked on that old straight line
We're polar opposites
We're nothing alike
I see black,
You see white
I've grown up to be,
Someone that you had always wanted to be
It's too late for you
I'll do what I had always wanted to do
I'll go my separate way,
And look up to see a different sky
