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
