Cornered

Ensign

Dont hold me up to be

Something that Im not

I never said I had all the answers

Or that I didnt make mistakes

You need someone to believe in

But Im the same as you

And I cant make the promise

That Ill never let you down

Why should I sacrifice myself

So you can think that we feel the same

My life, my actions

Are scarred with imperfections

I never asked to be a hero

Dont make me play that role

You want someone to look up to

Im afraid it isnt me

I wont be the one to save your soul

Why should I sacrifice myself

So you can think that we feel the same

What happens when I let you down

What makes my words so important

That they stand above the rest

All youre done is isolate me

And make me feel out of place

Is it the real me, that you want to know

Or who you think I should be

These walls that stand between us

Are walls that dont belong

All youve done is separate us

Is that really what you want
