Leading It On Your Own
I know it’s hard but you have to try
How can you live your life lie?
You say you hate who you’re closest to, to another
But around him, he’s not like a cousin but a brother
How can you just let them take over you?
Next you’ll be a singer to
Just like him
The changes of you not being are very slim
You let him dress you, and tell you what to do, How to act
Becoming of what you used to hate as a matter of fact
He tells you who’s in and who’s out
You can’t lead so he does is that what its about?
You have always followed the crowd
Does that make you proud?
To not follow your heart
Minding them and playing your own part
But when you come around me I see what you want to be true
Or at least that’s what I used to think
But when I’m gone or your with them it all changes
Filled with nothing but perfect Barbie doll images
That’s like tonight I’m gone and all you do is talk
If you can talk then walk
Show me you can do something to do
Leading it on your own
