Growing strong, the voice of my father said,

"Don't give up, don't be forgotten."

This hell on earth, I just want to run away

They told me dreams don't grow from here

Stay alone, count your fears

Somewhere down the line I might figure it out.

Singin' all my songs to bedroom mirrors

Deep inside my heart I'm still here.

We're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it

The world's in our hands, yeah

They don't need to understand

We do it our own way, no matter what they try to say about it

We've got our own plans, yeah...

They don't need to understand.

They don't need to understand.

What made me tough almost killed me

At least that's how I remember the story

Over the years I've forgotten how it was

But I survived and I won't walk down

The same old road that they all followed

It only leads to a life not meant for me.

Singin' all my songs to bedroom mirrors

Deep inside my heart I'm still here.

We're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it

The world's in our hands, yeah...

They don't need to understand

We do it our own way, no matter what they try to say about it

We've got our own plans, yeah...

They don't need to understand.

Streets in my hometown seem strange now

They feel like a distant memory

I'm always fighting 'cause I know you're trying

But you can never take this dream from me.

We're always runnin' away and we don't even stop to think about it

The world's in our hands, yeah...

They don't need to understand

We do it our own way, no matter what they try to say about it

We've got our own plans, yeah...

They don't need to understand.

They don't need to understand.

They don't need to understand.
