Lyrics

Who do you think you are?
You're talking so loud
You bury the sound of your heart that's singing out
And where do you wanna be?
On the top of your world
Where you're just a girl who forgot what it's like to dream
You leave everything behind
But you're so tired
One day you might open up your eyes to find
What you got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you got, what you've always wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
But you tried to hide between the lines of a story never told
I've seen you run away-
You're afraid of the fall
The weight of it all is too much
But you might change your mind
If you'd stand up one day you might open up your eyes to find
What you got isn't what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you got, what you've always wanted
What you need just happens to be someone you should know
How do you keep it up?
It's all just a front, a dangerous stunt
You're gonna come down soon enough
Open up your eyes
Don't be scared
You might find you had it all the time
What you got is what you wanted
What you need just happened to be
What you tried so hard to hide
It was there between the lines of a story never told
About someone you should know
What you got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be someone you should know
