I won't be seen beside myself no more.
'cause it's time that I grew up, that's for sure.
And these days that roll around,
pass by without a sound.
I'm trying to be someone for,
Trying to to be someone
for you to remember,
for you to look back at how young we used to be.
Trying to be someone
for you to remember,
'cause I don't remember how to be me.
I won't be looking in the mirror at me today no.
Instead I'm gunna close my eyes, and sing the night away.
Looking for all of the things that make me,
Maybe I'll find them but I would trust me.
To make anything worthwhile for,
To make anything
for you to remember
for you to look back at how young we used to be.
To make anything
for you to remember
'cause I don't remember who I used to be
And everything I learned was just a soul to burn, a lie to turn.
And all the days I spent, trying to find, the fire inside.
And in the end it came to pieces of you, I took from you too.
Inside your mind, I knew I'd find my day in the limelight.
I won't be seen beside myself no more,
'cause it's time that I grew up, that's for sure.
