When I was younger I could see the path you laid out just for me.
Growing up in the shadow of you I couldn't do what you could do.
I was turning in to something else, I was bound inside of this hell.
The disappointment on your face told me how far I fell from grace.
Why should I?
Grow up just like you.
Why should I?
Pretend I want to.
Why should I?
Do all that you do.
Why can't I?
Be what I want to.
I'll never be that person you knew, the deepest shade of crimson blue.
A world beyond what you could see, a camera to capture everything.
I can't help but be who I am, I hope someday you will understand.
The person who I choose to be, this is who I am meant to be.
Why should I?
Grow up just like you.
Why should I?
Pretend I want to.
Why should I?
Do all that you do.
Why can't I?
Be what I want to.
